T-storm over Mexico

Last night we had a late start due to clouds overhead, but in the distance, we were treated to a thunderstorm. The orange glow at left is from the border town of Nogales (both Arizona, and Mexico) indicating the the storm is near the border. The lightning bolt just right of center almost looks like it is hitting close to home, but it is really about 50 miles away. The dome right of the lightning bolt is that of the 84 inch telescope on Kitt Peak. Just visible in the foreground, just left of center is our Spacewatch 1.8-meter dome. This image was taken at 41mm focal length with an exposure of 30 seconds at f/5, ISO 800.
