A blue jet or blue starter (hard to tell). Imaged off the coast of Daytona Florida over the Atlantic on September 05, 2010. This storm was very energetic with very high flash rates. Yet only one sprite was imaged over it, so mostly negative lightning. Bright Moon to the right. Telescope: - Camera: Watec 902H with 12mm 1:1.4 lens.
