I shot this from up on a hill in Fremont with my old Canon G15. This is a stacked image of four 6-second exposures. In my previous post I messed up the distance: it is actually ~335km away from the launch site according to Google Maps.

I know my stuff isn't professional, but it is so much fun and I highly recommend "rocket hunting" to anyone who can!

That's just an illusion! It's extremely far away. The launch site is a few km from the nearest public road, and about 10km from the closest town, and I'm viewing it from a few hundred km!
