Description
The first night I spent on Mauna Kea was for altitude acclimitization, which is at 9600 ft. (Hale Pohaku, or "stone houses" in Hawaiian). While eating dinner I noticed a lot of flashes coming from the Mauna Loa direction, so I grabbed my camera and set my intervalometer to take 30 sec. shots, hoping I would catch lightning strikes during the exposure. I was rewarded with many shots of the clouds being lit up, the Milky Way on the right with Venus (the brightest "star"), and Mauna Loa. I even caught a few with the lightning bolt visible. I let the camera run until well past sunset while the lightning moved off towards the Kona direction.
