I, too, think Frank's picture is beautiful . Many of us observed this at Sentinel Saturday night. It had a unique "spike" shape. Does someone know the altitude at which the fuel was vented? I guess it must have been in direct sunlight for the plume to be so bright.

It is made up of five 80 second exposures with 50 second between them. it shows the satellite moving from top to bottom. (Actually I was tracking on a star so it looks like it was moving. It was really staying in one place.) If anyone has any questions, please let me know. Here is the link: http://www.clearskyaz.com/images/DSP-23%20and%20M42.jpgThat's a beautiful shot, Frank. Congratulations on a fantastic capture. Now, I'll just take my DSI-Color and crawl back into a hole :-)... Tim -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
