I really needed two cameras this morning, this was a quick catch of the booster returning to earth. After the initial launch, I turned the camera off after 180 seconds as the rocket was disappearing at altitude and into the sunrise. About a minute later in the upper atmosphere the rocket and booster separated and was backlit by the morning sun, still dark below, wasn't prepared and didn't think the halo effect would be sooooo beautiful, had never seen one this bright before. I only wish I'd captured the entire upper atmosphere sequence. The bright streak on the right is the rocket continuing into space and the dimmer one on the left is the booster returning to the SpaceX platform at sea, you can see the morning sunrise in the lower left....much better in download, Cheers
ps the rocket is traveling from top to bottom in the photo and heading into space, hope its not too confusing.
