Cloudy Sprites

More than 25 TLEs were observed during the early morning of Apr. 27, 2023 over thunderstorms at E. Aegean Sea and W. Turkey. Parent lightning flash seen below, between the clouds. Even though clouds were an obstruction, they filled the frame nicely.

 

TLEs (like red sprites) appear, under specific circumstances, above thunderstorms (e.g. red sprites appear at altitudes of 40-90 km).

 

I've used a Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/25'' with 30 k iso.
