First night of observation

A few last tests until early in the night, then the camera at Pic du Midi has started to operate

The picture on the left shows lightning flashes detected around 2:00 am. The two stars over France show the location of the two cameras, the one at Puy du Dome (centre) still not operational. Most of the activity has been on Northern Italy, too far for the Pic du Midi camera.
Only a few lightning flashes triggered the event-detection software, resulting in no-sprite images.
