Even though the galactic core has set, the Milky Way still amazes me. This shot, I had planned to capture the crescent Moon before it sank below the horizon just after sunset. Got a few more bonus images too! Check out my post for more! open.substack.com/pub/victoria...

@flightclub.io , big fan here. I'm going to the Gantry on Sunday Nov 9 to shoot Blue Origin's New Glenn Escapade(fingers crossed). I don't see this in your list of trajectories yet. Will you be adding it (I hope)?

@flightclub.io and followers, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I shot this Starlink 6-14 launch from SLC-40. I was planning another shot from the same location for the upcoming Starlink 10-25 launch from SLC-40 and am getting a totally different view. What am I doing wrong?
