So who is behind this new enterprise?

[h0ughy]

:pipethinker: well there must be a captain and a few shipmates running this astro vessel?

Fess up? Who is in charge?

Looks like your based in WA? That's far far away!

Looks like the weather is going to be pretty wet over there this week! Someone must have gotten some good astro bits and pieces:Chessy_Smile:

I am the guilty one Houghy.

I meant to build this site last year but I have been so busy with other stuff, I just kept putting it off. I still have many things I want to do with this site as well. Any feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

And yes, it is going to be wet over here. They are forecasting a super storm. A cyclone is going to mix with another low pressure system. So there are major warnings everywhere at the moment. And of course, I will be standing outside through any lightning storm with my camera on an aluminium tripod being covered by a steel framed umbrella. Not the safest way to take photos in an electrical storm, but if all of a sudden I stop posting on here, you'll know what happened to me :eek:

It could be an 'electrifying' experience!!!

I had an identical situation one Boxing Day night a few years back. It was 10pm, dark where we live and a storm came over the Meehan Range, which our property borders. I was out on the patio with a still camera taking shots and I had also set up a video camera and left it running.

All the house power went off, (no street lights here anyway) we were in total darkness, except for the lightning flashes that were getting closer. I have the video to prove what happened, a bolt on the top of the hill over the road, one in the field in front of the house, one on the beach umbrella which had been covering the still camera (had just moved inside), one over the far side of the house and one on the main road.

I made still pics from the video.

Best Wishes from a hot, sunny Tasmania :pipethinker:
