Kathy used a Sony a-350 DSLR 70-300 zoom telephoto. I estimate the distance from our location to the launch pad was about 13 miles. Get this, she shot those photos with no tripod; just hand-held.
Stay tuned because we are going to Cape Kennedy this Thursday to watch another Space-X launch carrying an Italian satellite. This time we hope to be at a designated viewing location on the cape which is at a distance of only 6.2 miles. That’s as close as civilians can get. More later!
