I shot this from up on a hill in Fremont with my old Canon G15. This is a stacked image of four 6-second exposures. In my previous post I messed up the distance: it is actually ~335km away from the launch site according to Google Maps.

I know my stuff isn’t professional, but it is so much fun and I highly recommend “rocket hunting” to anyone who can!

    Nice shot! I wish I lived near a launch site…

    Any idea what the horizontal streaks are? Aircraft?

      Thanks!! Yep, lots of planes flying around, going to San Francisco and San Jose!

      That’s just an illusion! It’s extremely far away. The launch site is a few km from the nearest public road, and about 10km from the closest town, and I’m viewing it from a few hundred km!
