About this image

A rare event and a lucky one to capture in the conditions this evening (9th). Almost 100% cloud cover most of the time with low scudding clouds and frequent wind gusts in the aftermath of the storm. I took a chance of not getting the scope or me soaked and over a 45 minute period managed to run off six short successful videos despite the trying conditions. This is a stack of the best 10% of that data.
