Hi folks:

Happy Holiday.

Sky was pretty clear early on. Woke up and the first thing i did was to browse the hit list. Apart from a handful of meteors and plenty of lightning flashes a few sprites were detected over the sky in bintan/batam areas...

Hi,
So who do you call??

Anyway, how long is the duration this time?? Possible cause by electrical discharge due to the lightning??

Have a nice day.

Hi:

"Spritebuster" if there is one here.. . hahaha.

Single frame events. The 'carot' seems to retain luminosity for at least 2 frame. Theoretically it is possible to place another camera with narrow view in the general area to capture a much closer look. This translate to watching the screen and forgo sleep over holiday or weekends.

yes, lightning discharges.
