Go Antares, go Cygnus
Liftoff of an Antares rocket supporting mission NG-18 from the Mid Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Wallops Island, Virginia. The photo was taken with a Nikon D7100 I had picked up on eBay a few weeks ago. The camera was used as a remote, meaning I had to set it the day before and leave it. Setup includes choosing the right location , staking the tripod to the ground, adjusting the exposure for what you think will work, taping the lens and taping a hot hands to it, and finally adding a miops sound trigger and covering it with plastic.
