• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Spaceweather has some pictures/video of some sprites (shot from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma on the 20th) and/or what they call Gigantic Jets of which I have never heard of.

Heres the Video

I wonder if a digi rebel xt would be able to pick up on them if it was attempted?
 
I'm sure one way or another it is possible with a still cam, finding them will be the problem. I've never seen them, though guess I haven't spent that much time looking. I actually thought about doing this the other night when a storm was clear up north of Sioux City, it was clear out, and I was seeing flashes from it, probably 80-90 miles away. Watched it a bit on the way home, didn't see any, and gave up.

What I want to get stills of are the reverse bolts, going upwards off towers. The last two nights I've seen a few, but they were way off in the distance. Seems to get those you need a very good mcs or a decaying one that was good, with a stirred up anvil(like intense mammatus dispalys).
