Seems like a storm has developed on the cold front on this system.
Calibration check:
Adjustment made by around 80-100km further out from the detected distance.

Hey Guys,

you should be able to see the RAW lightning output now on the Lightning page.

The RAW lightning image does no ranging at all, its purely what the Lightning Detector see's.
The distance shown is determined by the amplitude of the flash.

The RAW window will be best seen when flash rate is above 5 per min from a particular storm.
It should open up the window a bit more to see which bits of the storm have more of a prevalence of IC than CG etc.

Enjoy the new feature people and let me know what you guys think.......
