The Starlink Falcon9 rocket meets the Milky Way, with the downrange second stage plume lit by the rising Sun. It was a lovely scene.
This was a milestone 9th flight for this booster. Well done, Elon Musk & team!

Edited to add details:
This is a composite of 3 frames:
1. Milky Way, captured 5 minutes before launch (ISO 3200, f1.8 and 13-seconds)
2. Rocket launch (ISO100, f16, 191-secs)
3. Downrange plume, 7-mins after launch (ISO2500, f2.0, 10-secs)
Stacked as layers (with minimal masking) in Photoshop.
I'd be entirely remiss if I didn't recognize the inspiration of Mike Killian, John Kraus and Erik Kuna, all of whom captured lovely similar images of the last launch. They were on the other side of the river, shooting over the ocean; if you haven't seen their shots, go check them out now.
SpaceX launched the Amazonas Nexus geostationary communications satellite for Hispasat at 8:32 p.m. EST
A #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket carrying Starlink satellites to orbit flying by the recently Full Moon, seen Tuesday night from Titusville, FL in a 256-second exposure.
It was a beautiful, clear night for a launch.
For the first time in several nights, the rumble coming from the skies Sunday night wasn't thunder: #SpaceX successfully launched (& later landed) a #Falcon9 rocket carrying another batch of #Starlink satellites to orbit.
This was the view from Cocoa Beach & the Banana River:
How to launch and land a rocket five times; a master class by Elon Musk and #SpaceX.
This was the epic view of the #Starlink #Falcon9 launch from Titusville, Florida and the A. Max Brewer Bridge.
Liftoff was at 1:12am on Friday, August 7, 2020.

One Step for a Nation, One step for Humanity?
Where is the Mr. or Ms. Smith when we need them the most? Maybe this will be the person and he or she has arrived in Washington to help the little guy and do the right thing for our nation & for the world.
Our nation is at a cross road and the path ahead isn't very clear to many of us. Whoever wins this election the road ahead for them will be always full of political situations and obstacles that will always be changing, that will be the true challenge. I pray that those decisions will reflect the best interest of the average individual of this nation.
Or is this just a pipe dream that I'm having again?
A massive photo merge of 16 photos taken at Launch Complex 40 the morning of the #CRS8 #Falcon9 launch of the Dragon capsule to the International Space Station.
Last night I was able to witness for the first time one of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets from all places on the back porch at the house! It's amazing to see something like this in person and to know that Starlink satellites were being delivered to sub-orbit and the edge of space is pretty darn cool!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new SpaceX fleet leader: With tonight's Starlink 4-12 launch, Falcon9 booster B1051 is now a record-breaking 12x flight-proven.
Well done, SpaceX!
This was the (cloudy) view from Cocoa Beach over the Banana River.

Liftoff!
At 3:13am (ET) Thursday morning, a #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket sent a batch of #Starlink satellites to orbit, seen here from CCSFS.
It was a lovely night, clear enough to see the reentry burn over the Atlantic.
The 1st launch of 2021 sure was a pretty one. This is the SpaceX Turksat5A rocket, seen in a 180-sec exposure from Palm Shores, 25-ish miles south of Cape Canaveral.

Liftoff of the #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket carrying the #Hotbird13F mission to orbit, seen from Palm Shores, Florida, ~25 miles south of Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
A small crowd (and the Moon) was on hand to watch the 1:22am (ET) launch.
SpaceX's 60th launch of 2022 carried 54 more Starlink broadband internet satellites into low Earth orbit at 4:34 a.m. EST
Big night for Elon Musk: first #SNL & then this, the 10th trip to space (& back) for a #Falcon9 rocket.
This was the view of the #SpaceX #Starlink launch seen from north of the pad against the backdrop of the Milky Way.
Well done, team SpaceX!

Man kann über Elon Musk denken was man will, aber selbst in der dunkelsten Ecke ist er präsent. Und toll, dass seine TESLA's mit einem Adapter schon damals an vielen "fremden Ladestationen" auftanken konnten .. unser AUDI e-tron leider nicht 👎😖
You can think whatever you want about Elon Musk, but even in the darkest corners he is present. And it's great that his TESLA's were able to refuel at many "third-party charging stations" with an adapter... unfortunately not our AUDI e-tron 👎😖
That wasn't thunder, Space Coast - SpaceX just launched 58 Starlink satellites and 3 planetlabs satellites atop a Falcon9 rocket at 5:21am (ET).
This was the scene from Titusville and the A. Max Brewer Bridge.

It was a very beautiful early morning launch for SpaceX with the NASA Crew-2 mission headed for the ISS. The mission was SpaceX’s third crew flight, and first with a reused booster B1061.2, and the first reuse of Crew Dragon Endeavour. Launch occurred at 5:49 a.m. EDT from LC-39A on the Kennedy Space Center. This is a composite of 2 images, one for the stars and the other for the launch.

Good morning, Sun, and good morning, #Falcon9!
This is the #SpaceX #Starlink rocket, passing in front of the Sun, seen Wednesday morning from Titusville, Florida.
SpaceX just sent another 52 Starlink satellites to space atop the 35th Falcon9 launched this year.
This was the very pretty view from Port Canaveral. (Bonus points if you can spot the "flight-proven" Falcon 9 booster, waiting for processing, probably watching the launch.)
One side note: I've had the Exploration Tower on my mind since last night, after briefly catching a glimpse of it in the 2nd to last Better Call Saul, as Kim (played by Rhea Seehorn) is driving to work.
It seemed like a nice foreground for the launch tonight.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying several Starlink satellites into orbit on July 28, 2024. This image was shot from Vero Beach which is about 70 miles (112Km) to the south of the launch site in Cape Canaveral.
SpaceX Falcon9 rocket launched the #turksat5b satellite to geostationary transfer orbit at 10:58 p.m. EST from SLC-40 on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The satellite will provide broadband internet services to parts of Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
On Saturday, November 13 at 7:19 a.m. EST, Falcon 9 launched 53 Starlink satellites to orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This was the ninth launch and landing of this Falcon 9 first stage booster, which previously launched Crew Demo-2, ANASIS-11, CRS-21, Transporter-1, and now five Starlink missions.
While (much of) the Space Coast slept, stars moved in the sky, the Moon rose, and #SpaceX launched (& landed) a #Falcon9 rocket (sending 60 #Starlink sats to orbit), all shown here in this 38-minute mega composite of images captured early Thurs AM in Titusville.

The first launch of 2021 was a success for SpaceX, delivering the Turksat 5A communications satellite to orbit, from SLC-40 on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 9:15 p.m. EST Thursday night.
#SpaceX is now targeting between 11am & noon (ET) Saturday for the #InFlightAbort test.
These are Friday afternoon views of the #CrewDragon and the #Falcon9 rocket, looking ready to go if Saturday brings cooperative weather.
Beautiful night for the SpaceX launch with 51 more Starlink broadband internet satellites and the Spaceflight built Sherpa-LTC orbital transfer vehicle carrying Boeing's Varuna Technology Demonstration Mission (Varuna-TDM) to test broadband V-band communications.
It was a beautiful evening for the SpaceX Falcon 9 booster B1062 to launch the GPS-III SVO4 satellite at 6:24 p.m. EST from SLC-40
70 mins of star trails and 3 minutes of the#HISPASAT30W6 / Satellite Hispasat by #SpaceX

This image comes from my "back-up" camera, stuck in the field 100-feet or so from where I was shooting my planned shot of the Sunday morning (March 14, 2021) SpaceX Falcon9 Starlink launch. You can barely see the shape of a tripod between the trees (frame left), where I was looking east over the Mosquito Lagoon with my main gear.
For this image, I snapped a picture of the Milky Way at 5:59 am, and then I opened the shutter at 6:00 am to capture the 6:01 am launch. Just after I reached my waterfront view, a truck pulling a boat drove right through the foreground of this shot, leaving more than just a rocket streak in the image. I was apoplectic with worry that the headlights would ruin my main photos, but luckily they killed the headlights maybe 10-seconds before the rocket lit up the horizon. For this image, the unwanted head and taillight streaks were easy to remove.
There's a streak of something (frame left) that I think is a shooting star, but I don't know for sure.
I give another nod to those before me who have done a Milky Way and rocket image and done it well enough to inspire me to sacrifice a fair amount of sleep to chase this image. (See: Messrs. Killian, Kraus, and Kuna)
Of note: The image was captured using some of the oldest and most shop-worn gear I own, valued at a fraction of what I was shooting with over by the water. And I have a confession: I may almost like this image more than the other picture I captured.
TL;DR: The newest, best gear isn't always necessary to get a good shot.
Details: Composite of two images shot with a Canon 6d and a Rokinon 12mm fish-eye lens (that I thought was dead after it was drenched while spending a few nights outside for the Crew-1 launch). The first is the Milky Way frame, captured 3 minutes before launch (ISO 3200, f2.8, and 20-seconds). The second frame is the rocket (ISO125, f18, and 472-seconds). Images were combined surprisingly easily in PhotoShop with post-processing in Lightroom.
