Where is that darn rocket?

Last year we went several times to the Black Rock Desert to launch high power rockets. This was in June at 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. Steve's son stands on top of the SUV trying to locate the vessel with an antenna. We almost gave up, but then my son suddenly spotted something orange way out. Bingo, we found it!
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the curves.
