About this image

Sorry, not astronomicaly significant but an interesting combination. I was just going to bed when I noticed the lightning ~50 miles away in the NE. It was over mainland Italy. Set up camera on apartment balcony and took pictures for next 50 minutes. Stacked in StarStax and processed in Pixinsight & Faststone.
