Without a lightning detector (plans and a circuit board for which were 
presented on this list many years ago by Bill Brooks) I think you're 
limited to exactly what you've said.  Point it on auto in the vicinity 
of active lightning strokes and hope you catch something.

I have a copy somewhere.  Perhaps someone knows if it's still available 
on line.  Maybe Scott Gomez?
