Fantastic capture Justin. The shot with the many forks looks surreal.

I've wondered a few times whether a tall conducting telescope pier coupled with a non-conducting dome (eg. fibreglass) would ever attract lightning and pose a hazard to the observatory equipment. If I know that a storm is coming I usually unplug the internet connection to the obs and turn off the main switch on the sub-board.
