Gee, I take like 50 scope captures and all you wanna see are sparks 
:o))  I fully admit that I look at the scope a whole lot more than 
the sparks :-))

But right now they are only about a foot in bright light and I was 
really not trying to get more at all.  First I need to go to the 
150nF primary cap and 18uF primary coil so that the burst time is 
reduced a whole lot..  The giant 1.8mS firing cycle is putting to 
much thermal load on the IGBTs right now (the low current also has 
poor switch timing) to really let it loose.  I will also have to take 
it outside...

But I will take pictures next time no matter what.  if you had not 
have mentioned it, I would never have thought of it 0:-)  The scope 
data is where all the excitement is, at least for "me" ;-))

Cheers,
