WOW....Awesome-ness! Wonderful shots Stuart! I personally love the last one (One Wide). The composition of the clouds and the purple background screams 'DEATH!!' haha! Could do with a little more clouds and less buildings...but thats just me! Brilliant exposures!
Just shows theres lots more to to when the clouds are out!!
My wife never complained about how much time, effort & money I spent on my Astronomy hobby!................suddenly I met her!!!

Yeah....when cloudy we can be storm chasers and set up tri pods with DSLR instead for lightning shots!! Both ways we still get to chat Astronomy!!

Great shots all of you!!
Kensou,....great effort! Show a little more housing! I like how you got the lightning centered! Crop or not it's a good composition! The dark HDB makes for the eerie look!! Nice!!
