MINOTAUR ROCKET LAUNCH FROM WALLOPS ISLAND, VA. NIGHT LAUNCH COULD BE SEEN FROM MOST OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES

U.S. Air Force Minotaur 1 rocket that lifted off from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility at 8:15 p.m. EST on Nov. 19, 2013. I was able to catch a few shots from Bucks County, Pennsylvania as it was going over the Atlantic off the coast of New Jersey. At this distance, only the rocket flame was visible. This shot taken with a 400mm lens and professional camera set at a high ISO. The speckles in this shot are noise from the high ISO setting. Still, the shots are not bad considering the great distance I was from the rocket.

 Here is the NASA video footage of the launch.
