Ladrones in the distance

The VLA is behind those mountains on the very left (the Magdalenas).

There was some cool lightning, but I was too lazy to set up the tripod and take hundreds of pics.

Guys. Post your pictures! I have a bunch (~15) in my folders and no one to show them to, but I can't inundate this thread! Post post post!

Here's another: (Note that the contrast of these are edited cause my camera is this tiny little thing with almost no manual settings)

A photo of the Moon, taken with an iPhone through a telescope lens. The quality deteriorated, but I think it looks cooler now as something like a 1960s-era picture.

I also created a poster-ish version, just by changing the color and adding some text:

This tree outside my work was getting brilliantly lit up by the morning sun this fall. Picture taken with my iPhone.

XB-70A · December 16, 2017

Some pictures from yesterday's Dragon CRS-13 launch, took from the Samuel C. Philips Parkway (about from 16 km/10 miles the SLC-40 and 10 km/6 miles from the landing zone):

(Sorry for the really bad angle, all these pictures actually are screenshots from my video.)

As they are a bit heavy it's probably better to place all the others in a spoiler.

By far my favorite of all, the Peregrine Falcon 9!

Separation of the stages (not really a nice picture as it was so far already)

Thanks Delay! If you are interested here are some from the launch of EchoStar 105-SES 11 in October (took further from approx 22 km/14 miles South of the LC-39A ).
