New driver, bigger arcs!

I have improved my crt flyback driven tesla coil yet again! The new driver is a 555 and mosfet circuit, while the old one was a transistor self-oscillator. I am pretty satisfied with this, and it is very tunable with the spark gap size. I can get more pulsed/branching arcs, or nice continuous tendrils with different distances. Pulling 28 watts.
