Sprites and Orion
More than 30 TLEs were observed during the evening of Nov. 13, 2023 over thunderstorms at SE. Aegean Sea. Parent lightning flash seen below. The dark horizontal patches are clouds. Orion nebula can be seen on top.
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.
