Local Pic of Final Shuttle Night Launch

[RobsIron]

Local photog snapped this pic the other night. Thought I'd share.

He took the picture using a tripod and the elapsed time for the picture was several minutes in order to get the full fire-trail (this is why the stars are little lines instead of dots).

Awesome, I was there this summer. I rented a boat and we were all over the Indian River waiting for the launch. Go figure it was the one they tied the record for delays. We finally got to see it though! I'd love to be there for a night launch.

A few months back on my way to work the sun was coming up and there was a really nice sky display. People were calling in to the radio stations asking what it was. Turned out to be an Atlas rocket that NASA had launched that morning right before the crack of dawn. Was nice but that pic right there is a site to see!
