Fantastic Bp. First time I've seen this on this blog. It looks like a sailing vessel in the middle of the bay, this adds to the shear scale of the lift-off. Well done. I'm wondering how far away you were?

Be Cool, don't freeze...

Thanks for all the comments. To answer the one question of Rangy Lil, I would say I was about 12 miles out from the launch site. I knew it was going to be bright, but it was a lot brighter then I thought it was going to be.

Very good. It is just a tad noisy at 800 iso.

This is an excellent capture! The noise does not matter on this. It does give scale with the exhaust smoke trail entering the cloud base. Viv
