Falcon Heavy from Launch to Landing in 4K!

Here's my footage of this past weekend's Falcon Heavy launch, tracking it all the way to landing with an 11" telescope and my custom RocketTraker software.

The first time I saw the double landing of the side-boosters I thought it like poetry in motion.
A beautiful display...

Do more than expected, take less than allowed.

Thanks, Doc! The time of day with the setting Sun made this an awesome video capture.

Is there any image stabilization software to get rid of the bouncing of the scope on the mount? And is that due to the motors and/or gears that drive the scope?

 Quoting: Georgia_dawg


Yeah, it's due to the motors, they shake the scope a bit when they engage and disengage. At an equivalent focal length of 5.6 meters there's zero forgiveness for any vibrations. None of the video stabilization software I tried had any positive effect on the footage, so I went without it. I think the chaotic flames and exhaust are too much for standard algorithms. I even wrote my own quick and dirty solution, but it just kept trying to stabilize on the flames, to no effect.

Re: Falcon Heavy from Launch to Landing in 4K!
73 years since the first rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, a V2 rocket called Bumper 8, this was in 1950! In 1959 the first successful launch of a TITAN intercontinental, then various others . Much rocketry followed and in 1961 Russia put the first man into space.

We lived in Florida as a young married couple with very young children and everyone would walk outside to watch the rockets in the sky going up, it was very magical, lots of ooo’s and ahhh’s, but its crazy to fathom that in all this time we’ve only been able to now, in the year 2023, bring back down to earth our rockets?!

In 500 years the basic method of rocket propulsion has not changed.

What has changed is advanced Taiwanese microchips.

I admit watching it 2x playback. Music held together v nicely.
2:14 absolutely beautiful! Looked like solar dust.
7:13ish looks a bit hot inside, or why such a red glow? Reflection?

Sunset. The second sunset that rocket had experienced that day. Just after launch it rose into sunlight which is why it starts to look red and then white, but on the way back down it falls back down into Earth's shadow and experiences another sunset.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85025035


There is a reason why the Truman show, dark city and the matrix were all released within a year of each other and contain similar themes of waking up. Humanity is waking up and we started down this path in the late 90’s. The Zeitgeist of the 90’s causes the Zeitgeist of the 00’s and then the 10’s and then the 20’s. Humanity will soon be free from planet Earth.
