Thursday night's Falcon 9 / NROL-57 launch from Goleta, CA
Tonight's Starlink launch from Vandenberg SFB. In the broadcast, the Falcon 9 was barely visible from the pad cameras, but weather was clear enough south to Goleta to get this shot. First time trying out a wide angle adapter.

Tonight's Starlink launch from VSFB. Decided to haul out the DSLR & tripod.
Launch photography is uniquely challenging: you only get one shot at the action, and the iteration cycle to improve is slow due to launch cadence, but that makes it a worthy quest. Not the best, but I'll be trying again.
