Astonishing Oz pics!

Paul Camilleri in Warners Bay, Australia, captured a photo (yes, all n = 1) of an Atlas launch vehicle upper stage delivering 3 payloads to orbit.

Each deployed satellite is visible, and the upper stage was imaged clearly venting residual propellant.

Bloody amazing?!

Is Paul here on IIS?

Grahame Kelaher from WA captured some very nice footage of another Atlas V deployment a few months ago. I didn't see it posted on IIS -

No idea but W/bay is approx., 5 klms from me and probably 9-10 klms from Houghy.

Awesome imaging.
