My 2nd visit to the Kennedy Space Center - all in a week. The first time was to watch the SpaceX launch of the Falcon 9. It was postponed until today (Wednesday). This is my first photo exercise from 4 miles away - used a D500 with 200-500mm zoom and a D5300 with 90mm Tamron for video

Video of ignition and lift off. Apologies, the bottom of the image was clipped by the video software - I'll have to figure out how to repair
