Very early this morning NASA launched an Atlas 5 with a Space Service payload. This is a big rocket and it had five solid rocket boosters so it was really bright. Maybe too bright for my settings, which were ISO 100, f/11, 96 s and with an 18mm lens on a D 7200. I reduced the brightness 1.5 ev in PSE. The view here is cropped a little. Also, there was a layer of fog creeping in.
