If you have any please share them. Once again I was not there to see it live and had to watch on the internet. Thanks for anything that you post.

Well, when I get the right USB cable, since I forgot mine, I'll post some of mine. We THOUGHT we had found a nice spot along the road to stop and watch. We saw as bright area on the ground that SEEMED to be in the right area for the pad. Well... We were wrong, we were farther away and it was to the left of us, so I had my camera set up (with a vid camera gorilla podded to my 50-500) and when they said IGNITION, I started taking pics, and low and behold.. Nothing happened.. I looked up and saw off to the LEFT the glow... ARRRGGGG>.. So I do have some, but when I moved the camera quickly my vid camera got bumped and hard had anything.. :(. I dont know if any will come out or not. We actually wound up being so far away, we didnt even hear it :(... It was cool, dont get me wrong. I saw one with my own eyes, but we thought we had stopped at a better place then we did

Here's a 98-second exposure from my backyard in Boca Raton, FL...about 165 miles south of the launch:

I was at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, so didn't have a tripod with me which meant pretty fast shutter speed, but managed a few...
