I was down a the beach taking sunset photos and heard there was going to be a launch. This is one I got of it as it headed south over San Diego. ISO 200, F9, 13s. It was an unbelievable sight. THe smaller line is the 1st stage of the rocket starting to fall back to earth.

Great shot, I've seen a few shots but yours is the best...they used to not announce Vandenberg shots. They were always military as if the Russians didn't know.

This is cool - it made a really cool nighttime trace over Phoeinx as well.
