Reaching for the moon
A week ago we attended high power rocket launches at Friends of Amateur Rocketry, a private rocket launch facility in the Mojave Desert, California. On Sunday I was invited to take photos of a test launch by a commercial rocket startup currently in stealth mode. Seen here are the moon and the tip of the rocket on the launch tower, ready for launch. The company plans to launch payload to low orbit of Earth, not the moon.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from two JPG exposures, focus stacked them, carefully adjusted color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
