What settrigs did you use on the camrea? I'm going out tonight to try a little astrophotography myself... Gonna try and get a good one of the cresecent moon we got going...

Hmmmmm, I don't see anything special!!!

Pretty neat... :)

pretty cool and scary at the sametime.

Nice pics!:thumbsup

I am using a Sony Cybershot F-707 (not the new model).

I had it on F2.0 and 30 seconds exposure.

The slowed part of the launch is the liftoff, when the camera was ready for the second picture it was already too high.

So I basically need to get a new digital that will allow me to do a 1 minute exposure, or just take the picture about 20 seconds later.

I also got video of it too. I'll icq you a video of the AURA launch tat was a few days ago.

The slowed part = The slowest part

Ironic that it's called the "Peacekeeper", isn't is?

We were disussing that during the launch. Its primary purpose is to be a "Strategic deterrence". Classic 1984-style double-speak.
