SpaceX Falcon 9 launch Saturday afternoon

[Makuser]

Hi all. A nice sunny afternoon here and I caught three shots of the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch this afternoon from my backyard. Because of the northeast trajectory (moving directly away from my location) of the launch I could only get the three images before it became too small and faint. See below:

Here are the details:
SpaceX lofted another 53 internet relay stations aboard a Falcon 9 rocket at 4:40 p.m. EDT (2040 GMT) Saturday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. It was SpaceX’s 20th launch of the year, and the second of 2022 to debut a new Falcon 9 booster. The booster landed on SpaceX’s drone ship “Just Read the Instructions” floating in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of Cape Canaveral.
Thanks for looking and I hope that you enjoy them.
