This was a very prolific session, concerning TLEs. More than 120 events were observed during the evening of Nov. 11, 2023 over #thunderstorms at E. Aegean Sea and W. Turkey. This is a so called "Jellyfish" red sprite event (a term used by sprite-chasers). That is, a group of "carrot" sprites stacked together, creating a red "dome" on top and a "forest" of tendrils at the bottom. The mountains of Evia isl. can also be seen with wind turbines on top of them. The light behind them comes from the parent lightning.

TLEs (like red sprites) are upper atmospheric electrical discharges and they appear, under specific circumstances, above thunderstorms (e.g. red sprites appear at altitudes of 40-90 km).

I've used a #Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/25'' with 40 k iso.
