And here is another interesting video, I'm not even sure how I got the
camera into this mode but it captures the discharges really nice. This is
approx 28 inch discharges to a 3/4 inch grounded brass electrode.

This has really good images. It's easy to stop the video on a spark, that lasts for a single frame, and enhance the photo to see some extra detail. The terminal is really negative, and these are complete sparks, with not enough charge for a complete bright channel, that at the central part becomes diffuse. It's curious to see that at the negative end, the terminal, there is a straight segment followed by a "plume", that usually appears at the positive side. Maybe this happens because the spark oscillates, reverting direction several times.
