Great shots Zane.
I saw this last night after I got home from work. It was unbelievably bright just after sunset, towards the west and clearly visible through low cloud. I thought it was a plane heading my way through cloud. After watching it for a minute or two I realised what it was (some friends saw a rocket plume last year, I missed it).
I grabbed my camera and by the time I got it off the scope and onto the tripod the beautiful yellow ball from your first image was dissipating. I managed to get a couple of shots off on the modded canon 1100D with 50mm lens (30, 60, 120 seconds @ iso 3200).
It was a lovely sight!
