Falcon 9 Luaunch

[James Willinghan]

This mornings SpaceX launched a Falcon-9 rocket for a resupply mission to the ISS. It was going to pass to the SE-E this morning around 6:40am. I was at work and went out to try and see it and when the time came, it did not show. I had to get back to work, so I set my camera back on the floor of my car and stepped out of my car and of course there it was. By the time I grabbed my camera again the stage making the "jelly fish" wake had separated and it was just the main rocket continuing. I was able to only snap one picture as it disappeared heading NE away from my area. Here is the image I took showing the wake behind the rocket with the shockwave to the sides. I zoomed in and out in front of the white dot that I have highlighted in the one picture is the rocket.

My sister got these standing in her driveway near Ocala.  Hard to believe the colors or that these were taken with her phone!  Location matters I guess.

Cheers-
