First night using the low light camera. This is an image of a thunderstorm cloud top about 70 miles to the east of my location. Towards the right of the cloud can be seen a small "jet" like protrusion. This is most likely a blue starter, which is a failed blue jet. It's also possible that this is a blue jet but since it's so far away most of the blue light has been filtered out by the atmosphere. In either case these jets are very rare! Telescope: - Camera: Watec 902H with 16mm 1:1.4 lens. Filtration used: None
