Hi all. A mostly cloudy morning here but I got three shots of the Falcon 9 SpaceX launch at 10:51 am EDST in between the clouds from my backyard. See below:
Here are the details:
SpaceX's 100th launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station featured a set of 54 Starlink satellites, which launched to orbit on Thursday (Oct. 20) at 10:51 a.m. EDT (1451 GMT). "With the completion of today's launch, it marks SpaceX's 48th successful Falcon 9 mission of 2022," SpaceX Space Operations Engineer Siva Bharadvaj said during live commentary.
This was the 10th flight overall for this particular Falcon 9. It's first stage touched down a little less than nine minutes later at sea on the SpaceX droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas. The satellites successfully deployed into low Earth orbit a little over 15 minutes after liftoff, according to SpaceX.

And as much as I enjoy watching and photographing the launches, this one was just sending up more space junk. Here is a link to an excellent new thread on this subject from @ gregl Greg and @ smp Stephen, at:

Wow, great shots, even through the clouds!
Thanks very much for sharing, Marshall!

Really nice pics Marshall. An exciting capture. A question: Can you hear the rocket engine sound from your backyard?

Hi Michael. Usually by time I get to the third picture the rumble and thunder rolls in here. Sometimes with the larger super heavy launches our house windows will rattle.

Wow Marshall that's pretty cool!

That's awesome you can see that from your back yard!

Not sure if it's feasible, but have you tried capturing an image of one going up with a scope?
