Any of you southern Cal. folks see the launch this evening from Vandenberg? A Minotaur satellite was launched about 7:25 PM PDT. Got a great view of it from Tucson. Here's a short video clip I made. It's not great due to difficulty focusing and some trees in the foreground.

I've seen almost every launch from Cape Kennedy from Apollo 12 to the 3rd shuttle launch.
My all time favorite was an Atlas night launch at about 45 minutes after sunset. Lit up the night sky on the way up. Then the sucker got high enough to pop out of the earth's shadow and got lit up by the sunlight. A sight I will never forget. Ken |
