Those sprites are so awesome. I visit McDonald Observatory quite often.

Very nice Matt! Really enjoy your work! Thanks for sharing!

[@MattDieterich]

Thanks for watching man! Fun shooting timelapses :)

Awesome images Matt. Sprites would be so cool to capture - you don’t hear of them so often over here in the UK, I guess as our storm structures aren’t as strong. The time lapse was stunning - I love the star glow effect that the Cirrus cloud causes to the brighter stars.

Thanks Paul! Ya I was shocked at how many the timelapse caught that night, but conditions were promising with distant storms.

Is this some kind of weather effect? Never heard of them here in Sweden?

[@MattDieterich]

Ya they happen above certain lightning strikes if the storms have the right conditions.
