A HUGE thank you to Dean Ketelsen for the notice on this fabulous rocket launch opportunity. It was much more visible than I expected and the various phases of the launch and plume development were quite beautiful and awe inspiring. Two of the many photographs I took of it tonight can be seen on my web site at: http://members.cox.net/starscopes/space_sky/20050922_vandenberg_rocket_launch.html Clear skies, Rick Scott -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
