Troy - what do you think, should Lightning and Aurora be added to the chart?
Lighting has a few sub-cataegories....
(I realize chart not yours)

Haha. I guess if you don't know you're looking at aurora or lightning, you probably would struggle understanding the chart anyway. Think it's more intended to distinguish satellites, meteors, UFOs etc, with a bit of comedy thrown in there :)
