112 miles away from my vantage point in Bear Valley Springs, CA, this is footage of the Falcon 9 launch on the morning of October 9th, 2017 from Vandenberg AFB. SpaceX was sending up the next batch of Iridium-3 NEXT satellites. Was a beautiful sight to see with the naked eye, especially the 1st stage separation. Canon 7DmkII, 70-200mm lens.
