Some photos I took this morning of the Ares 1-X launch. C&C welcome. |

I would have loved to of seen this, but the TV worked out ok I guess. The first two are a bit unlevel, too bad you have the telephone pole in the shot also, im sure it was challenging to get a decent shot from where you were shooting from however. |

Actually, they're not unlevel. The rocket canted immediately on ignition. |

Im talking about the towers. I was surprised how much it canted right at launch, almost looked as if it was about to hit the tower. |

The cant was actually to make sure it didn't hit the tower. I used the lightning arrestors at teh top of the towers for vertical alignment. I'll double-check. |

I'm seeing the first two images as slightly tilted to the right as well. Still good captures, though. |
