February 6, 2018 . Falcon Heavy Launch

Watching the Falcon Heavy launch was simply amazing.  Another opportunity to explore imaging strategies.   This time I used video, (not much success). wide angle streak (best yet but a long way to go) and individual frames.

Streak image (2 min exposure) -  needs lots of improvement - mostly shorter exposures so the rocket does not get bleached by the background
