Wonderful time lapse.

Can I ask how bright and fast they are in "real time" vs timelapse? We don't get big thunderstorms where I live and I've never seen anything like them personally.

This is great! I’ve read about sprites, but I’ve never seen a photo of them before. They look gorgeous. Are they as intense—or even visible—to the naked eye?

I haven't seen a lot of captures of sprites, but those are some of the best ones I've seen. Amazing job!
