Won’t see much still too light out

Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah those 9pm ones are the best.

I went to the website and they have already launched 5 rockets this month and Boeing can't get 1 up and back in 3 months.

Do you think the Boeing execs understand this, or is their compensation so good they just ignore reality?

 

[Ziggy]

Could see the vapor trail still lingering after 8pm

[DRYHEAT]

I’m asking myself why I’m sitting out in the heat in Havasu, wonder if I’ll even be able to see it this late.

Nobody told me to stay home

Hurry up and go away. You have 8 minutes!!!

Well, I can barely see it not even worth taking a picture of

I’m not sure if we should be more impressed with SpaceX or you at this point

 

[Desert Whaler]

Had just sat down to eat some chow and watching the news & see the Live countdown . . . bolted upstairs, grabbed my camera & snapped off a few.
Didn't have time to adjust settings so I didn't get any good ones.
A few sparse clouds here in Huntigton Beach . . .

Seemed to follow the same trajectory as the others headed off south, I could see in the low horizon what looked like tail lights. Once it got into the higher atmosphere, I could just barely see a haze moving through the sky. Here’s kind of an enhanced picture, but it didn’t look that obvious with the naked eye .

 

[HTTP404]

Nice reentry burn for the booster.

 

[Desert Whaler]

Camera auto-corrected a long shutter speed . . . .LOL

 

[SoCalDave]

Fuk. I missed it...

That's actually a cool photo.

[Desert Whaler]

That's actually a cool photo.

Zoomed-in at 400mm you can only lower the shutter speed so much hand held, even with image stabilization.
The best deal is to get your settings dialed in beforehand and also be in manual mode, that way you can make small adjustments as you go.
Having it on a tri-pod is a must . . . so even if you wanna 'sweep' a little, at least you're not getting the 'jitters'.
One of these days I'll get my act together . . .LOL

 

[parker ed]

Wasn’t much to see from my place.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

I live in the mountains, so trees are the biggest problem but all I see is a red dot rising into the sky. Sometimes I can see a little bit of an exhaust plume. I’ve never seen the booster returning. I can get about 10-15 seconds of viewing.

 

[jet496]

I missed it but have caught a lot of the others. It looks awesome here in San Diego. I'm going to make note of their schedule so I don't miss others. I love it.

 

[4Waters]

It was definitely worth the drive out to state beaches exit, it's amazing out much bigger the burn looks. Next time we have the opportunity we will drive up to El Capitian area, my neighbors kid was camping there a couple months ago when they launched and he said they could hear the rocket

 

[FreeBird236]

I've seen several in Havasu, but couldn't see this one.

 

[mash on it]

Seen it from the ranch north of Williams. Tiny dot, not even picture worthy. Pretty dark out here, was the only reason that I could follow it somewhat.
Other launches have been spectacular.

If it were 20-30 minutes earlier it would have been spectacular

 

[HNL2LHC]

Looks like a launch in 15 minutes. I think that the launch is in Coco Beach

Pretty cool and badass what they are able to do. Did a few screen shots. I am sure there are better images out there.
