    I'd stay local and find an area with clear views of the sky. Or perhaps go slightly further west onto the A28 Kent Downs for good viewing. After 2pm should see convection in your area.

    I have a fairly heavy tripod an old Velbon D700 video model I used for filming railways yrs ago. I've used it for about 24 yrs, It weighs about 4kg but it's ideal for a steady base. It's a trade off between weight and sturdiness. Usually I don't have to carry it too far. There are loads of good tripods around. A light flimsy tripod is useless.

    Do you mean garden lights? Is this a gif?

    I can hear your onboard sferics detector.

    Indeed, but low fractus cloud often arrives about dusk from the North sea, to hide any lightning. Although that is mostly for eastern areas, perhaps the south coast is slightly less prone. I've just been out in the garden and the fractus clouds are already here, so that is not good for later.

    Probably won't have to water the garden for a couple of days, dam gastropods love it though. .

    I can't tell from here, have a look over the fence.

    I've never seen a hole in the NCL map, maybe it's an error. The yellow arrow is massive, longer than the UK, not sure what caused that.

    Particularly if they live in northern France

    In noticed the cresent moon last night. Nice earthshine you got.

    All the NLCs I've seen apart from once have been in the early hours. Too tired to look last night, but I did have a gut feeling.... Not sure when there will be clear skies again.

    I'd say that is stratocumulus cloud as weak convection hits an inversion and flaterns out.

    Possible meteor outburst The Tau Herculid Meteor Shower — Possible Outburst | Spaceweather.com SPACEWEATHERARCHIVE.COM May 25, 2022: In late 1995, Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 exploded. Next week, some of the debris might hit Earth. Above: NASA images of Comet 73P still crumbling...

    So when you read this chart are you predicting the "ten too" to head towards the UK? How are you interperating these?

    I would say cirrus or contrail is likely, not 100% sure on those pics.
  16. Sprites
    These seem to be NLCs, or perhaps cirrus. https://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=185228

    I'd say that is scud below an updraught, I couldn't see any rotation. These types of features are quite common below stratocumulus Although these types of weather setups with inversions and shallow convection, and sunny intervals can produce funnel clouds.

    Probably migrated to social media sites

    It's probably all migrated to social media sites...there was a weak display for NE England last night.

    Have you joined that NLC forum, or just checking the sightings? That forum seems rather quiet, as the NLC season is relatively short compared to the day to day weather.

    A couple of pics from yesterday's storms. And inspecting the damage from the close lightning strike I videod last Thursday. The engineer told me they had to patch up the cable as it was crumbling as they tried to fix it. So they will replace some of the cable. There was damage to about 600 metres of copper cable and fibre.

    I could see pileus on some towers about 6pm looking towards London. Pileus clouds on the top of cumulus usually means an updraught is quite robust. Saw a few flashes in the E and NE about 9.30pm

    Yes the autofocus is often a pain at night, there's no manual focus on the 4a, I would of liked more manual control. But it's great for stills in the day...

    Thanks I don't have a lightroom subscription, so may try Snapseed. Have you tried the astro function on your pixel 6? . I have a pixel 4a so should be ok for RAM.
