DescriptionEUTELSAT Launch by SpaceX seen from Florida Tech (27661889476).jpg
This is looking out over the campus of Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida.
In the foreground is the Panther Aquatic Center, located next to the Clemente Center. The taller building to the left is Crawford Hall, and to the left of that is Skurla Hall (the roof is visible) which houses the College of Aeronautics and Dean Korhan Oyman's office. The tops of the Gleason Performing Arts Center and the Evans Library are visible behind the Clemente Center.
Oh yeah - the faint arc in the sky to the right of the frame? That's a #Falcon9 rocket launched by #SpaceX carrying the #EUTELSAT 117 satellite.
This is a composite of 20 frames, each with an exposure time of 2 seconds, shot through a 10-shot ND filter. The clouds were really not cooperative for this shot so the streak is (obviously) not the easiest to see. Also, one version of this image included what can only be best described as a "velvet Elvis" filter (credit: Jared Haworth for the name), a very vivid HDR sort of thing, but I've elected to post this version with only basic adjustments applied in Lightroom.
