Dawn Launch
Early morning launch of the DAWN asteroid exploration mission. Launch vehicle was a Delta-II Heavy. Taken from the street in front of my house in Miami, approximately 185 miles south of Cape Canaveral.
Lighting was great for this launch. The light from the sunrise gave the exhaust trail an orange glow that really pops it out from the clear morning sky.
A Delta-IV Heavy is scheduled to launch in mid-November at around 9:00pm EST, according to SpaceFlightNow.Com. The Delta-IV Heavy is a much more powerful rocket than the Delta-II Heavy. That launch should make for an interesting photo-op.
