STS-128 Launch Seen from Panama City, FL
I had the rare opportunity to witness a Space Shuttle launch from over 320 miles away. My vantage point was In Panama City, FL.
I was amazed at how bright it was, it cast a beautiful orange glow over the water at Earl Gilbert Park. I have witnessed many ISS overhead passes and I expected to see something similar. I was very wrong!
The pictures simply do not do it justice.
See the gallery for the full resolution pictures. Unfortunately in my excitement I bumped the Tripod and caused some shake in one of the pictures.

Amazing that you could see that from over 300 miles away. It would be awesome to see that in person….Nice job..
