Details:
I've been trying to capture a Cape rocket launch from Huntsville, AL, 550 miles away. This morning would have been perfect for Elon Musk's latest launch of 60 Starlink satellites on a Falcon-9... clear, dry air. But they launched in an earlier time window, so I missed the launch. But I still captured the remnant NLC cloud from the rocket a coupld hours later, and in the time lapse video at https://vimeo.com/519492693 you can see Saturn (above the cloud) and Jupiter and Mars (below). I even caught a meteor early in the video. Capturing an actual launch from the town that built the Apollo program is still on my bucket list. Canon 6D MkII, Tamron 15-30 mm lens at 30 mm, f/2.8, ISO800, 2.5 sec exposures.
