Hi All,

It was a peaceful and tranquility night at the West Entrance. The rangers didn't make any issues. The entire parking lot was available for star gazing. 
We were nicely surprised by SpaceX. Because we had low horizons towards South West, we were able to observe Falcon 9 launch over the Pacific Ocean.




Regards,
Nikola

Great shot, Nikola!  We tried to see the launch from Pinnacles East last night, but there were hills to the southwest that blocked our view.

The satellites from this launch should be visible from the bay area tonight, Sunday, from 9:31 pm to 9:35 pm.  Appearing in the northeast and ending in the southeast.

Mike
