Tracking a Falcon 9 Night Launch with an 11" Telescope

SLS was scrubbed, but a SpaceX Falcon 9 successfully launched from Cape Canaveral on Saturday night. I was able to track it with my 11" telescope using a trajectory prediction from FlightClub.io. I dare say my tracking was smoother than the official webcast...

Boring.... watching rockets go up is not astronomy. I'd rather watch paint dry on Europa... jes sayin.

It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislator to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them.

Nice. How many launches is SpaceX firing off every month? Seems like they're becoming one of the most prolific commercial space companies in the solar system.

Wonderful. Thank You Dr.Astromut.
I love all things Space. We live about 30 miles from the space X facility in central Tx and many times the tests rattle our windows. Love it. Love It.
