From Coast to Coast
Using 8X lens hand held this is the launch of STS 128 on 2009 08 28 as seen from my back yard in Citrus County on the Gulf Coast. It goes behind some trees at times. And once the solid rocket boosters drop off, though I could see those and the main vehicle still, the camera couldn't. About 11 minutes later, unbelievably, I heard a growing rumble and went outside and it was the noise of the launch!
