Description

Best of the captured Red Sprites over a bigger system of thunderstorm cells in the area of the border of Switzerland to Austria and Italy at 03. July 2022, 11:27 p.m. local time (Germany) - captured at my balcony in Rottendorf, looking south to Würzburg.
Astronomical twilight never starts at my location at this date, so the pictures background is not so dark and deepsky objects don't have the best contrast. But fortunately the transparency of the sky was quite good and light pollution didn't have so much impact due to that, though my camera was looking towards Würzburg city. I've used an astro-modified EOS 6d, 28mm lens at F2.0, 5 seconds exposure time.
