Parker Solar Probe Venting

[tel.lekatsas (Tel)]

Parker Solar Probe (Delta IV main rocket engine?) venting over Ma Ma Creek, QLD. This was a spectacular sight. The cloud was bright orange as it rose over the range as the sun went down. Unfortunately only captured that part in my head.

Imaged 18:26 to 19:06 local time (0826 - 0906GMT), exposures 1 to 15 seconds, ISO 800 to 3200, EOS7D @ 200mm.

Interesting catches there, Tel, dont see these posted 'ere much if not at all ?
Good show & well done.

Derek, it was really stunning just on sunset.

I agree Bob, you don't see these on here too often. I posted one a couple of years ago, Falcon 9 venting, but I barely imaged it due to camera issues.

Tonight's conditions were ideal, the geometry was really good, the weather co-operated and I had just set up the camera. I was setup for last night but they scrubbed the launch at the last minute (or two).

Thanks for the comments chaps.
