I sure did try Philippe, but I completely blew it.
I set the camera for a long exposure.... DOH! I forgot how darn bright it
was during liftoff...
the resulting image is one big frame of pure white!! But it is beautifully
exposed pure white!!! Grin

I'm really surprised to see the lightning.

So am I. The live coverage on NASA TV was nothing but clear sky, but it's
hard to see where Glen was located (and so, in which direction he was
looking). "Across the River" doesn't make much sense to me when I look at
the map.

I'm not surprised because you saw a clear sky, but because of NASA's
wariness of lightning.

Which is probably why they waited for a clear sky. :-)

IIRC, the commentator said the nearest weather system was 20 miles away.
But it was 6AM here, so I was up really late. :-)

I'm guessing that it would have looked like this ...

This is from NASA's image of the day site, of the same launch.


Another item on the list of things to do, just after the lotto win (just
before Angelina...)
