(meteorobs) Bonus capture - SPRITE

Funny thing, earlier on Sunday my meteorologist observing buddy Alister Ling
chatted to me about sprites during our Perseid observing session.  He'd
never actually seen one, & I've never so much as seen a video of one. Until
now!

I've had three short-ish Perseid sessions in the last ten days, will have a
proper report in due course. Last night was a no-go as we had a tremendous
thunderstorm here in the capital region that went on for hours. Lots of hail
damage this morning. :( 

Maybe tonight, although the forecast remains pessimistic. A couple of us are
prepared to make a significant drive if there's a hole anywhere.

This is only the second one I've seen in three years of the Sandia Sentinel
camera running.
