Re: [TCML] Little white balls within streamers 90degree mirror

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes Peter, it's just a frame of view and the camera's angle to the 
spark. Say the spark curves away from or in the direction of the frame 
of view, at that point, the area appears brighter as more light is 
captured. What I was trying to explain is the spark spirals or waves at 
these points as opposed to the remainder of the streamers, and it is 
these occurrences which allow the camera to capture more light in those 
areas.

Take care,
Bart
