My wife an I planned a trip to Merritt Island to go birding. When the mission was re-scheduled this became our main focus. It is an absolutely breath taking experience to witness first hand. Thhis is my first attempt at something like this, and a little reseaarch on camera settings helped. I always say even a blind squirrel finds a nut. Comments and Critiques welcomed. Gary

Great pic. Something everyone should see at least once in their life.

Amazing shot. looks like a real winner.
Thx for sharing.
Good morning Gary! Thanks for the thumbs up. Gary
Awesome shot - well done!
Very cool.
I was in Melbourne, Florida and got to see the first night launch of the space shuttle in the 80’s. Who knows where those photos are.
Great shot and thanks for the specs.

Well done Looks great! First try, I am impressed. In my travels from the deep south to Michigan I have tried a couple of times to see a launch but they were scrubbed.
Well done. Maybe a bit of horizon adjust would help though.
