[AZ-Observing] Re: Thursday Night's Sky Viewing

Tom, thanks for sharing those photos.

I was impressed by the almost non-stop light show from my driveway 140  
miles north. I wish I had been able to stay outside long enough to  
look for a hint of any jets or sprites--probably too far away though.  
I've never had the opportunity to witness these before. Thanks for  
sharing your observation of the jets, Dan! Those lengthy  
cloud-to-ground superbolts sound impressive--I wish I could have seen  
it.

The national weather service is calling for an early season 'short  
wave' to drop down and really liven up the monsoon this weekend.  
Saturday and Sunday afternoon & evening sound like they might make for  
some good cloud & lightning photo ops. I'm going to try and keep  
myself open...

The last out-of-season trough a couple weeks ago made for some  
fantastic storms up here. I got lucky with a full-daylight lightning  
photo from Mars Hill on Sunday the 17th:

I also had a chance to get out and photograph a time lapse animation  
of dwindling rotation in the cell that apparently produced a tornado  
warning on Friday the 15th. (the youtube link is on that page too.)

If we can't get clear skies, here's hoping for some other excitement  
in the sky (without the wind damage :)
