Last weekend we went to the Black Rock Desert for the Mudroc rocket launch event. Steve Jurvetson launched his fiberglass rocket called Warped Reality. The 12 feet rocket had a big N1560 motor and went supersonic, reaching over 19,000 feet in a few seconds. We found the lower fuselage quickly, then searched for the upper fuselage for quite some time. Almost giving up, my son suddenly spotted something orange way out. This is the hurrah moment after we retrieved it about 7 miles north near the Black Rock, seen in the background.

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully pulled the curves.
