Night launch of Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-131), April 5, 2010, from my backyard (~60 miles away in Kissimmee, FL).

Notes on the launch:
- watch for the neat plume that forms 2 minutes in (well after SRB sep)
- the rumble from the launch can be heard begining 4:20 in
- another wild, high, luminous (by the sun) exhaust cloud at the 5:30 point (12x timelapse)

Notes on the video:
- Canon T2i
- 50mm, f/1.8 lens (nice and bright)
- ISO6400 - brighter than naked eye, definitely grainy. ISO3200 better? Maybe.
- focus - not sure I hit the focus 100% - new to this "astro-videography" thing

This was a fantastic video. Night shots are the best. I haven't seen a launch from this perspective before.
