Did the fact that it wouldn't light not give it away?

No - I thought it was one of Bill Clinton's

Lovely shot, but this is not the corona.

Thank you Pete. I was never aware that this term was used to describe 2

You also get a corona around high voltage, plus the word is used in

Yes, now that you mention it, there is a corona wire inlaser printers, too.
