Thanks Mike. I was actually more thrilled than startled. The way I figure it, if lightning hits me, I'm on my way to Idaho to get a Powerball ticket.

You will get some warning, when your hair stands on end duck.
Thanks Mike.

Yes, they're devices you attach to a camera and it triggers the camera when it detects the flash. Most Lightening shots you see are taken with the help of a detector. That said, some people, like yourself, manage to get great shots without one. So extra quodos for doing it the old fashioned way.

Seems like you can rely on when SLAS is having a star party there will be thunderstorms. At least this Spring.
Very nice shot Dale. Did you use a lightning detector or was it just good
timing?

I had some somewhat decent seeing for once, just had a chance to process this out. You can make out some movement in the storm bands. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4371 Look for info under the description. Enjoy! David Rankin
