 This photo shows the MST around the Delta II at sunset with my remote camera box.



A rare beautiful sunset just prior to MST rollback!



MST rollback started about 6:25pm PST on Feb. 3.



After one scrub and 2 day delay the Main Engine comes alive at 2:22:am PST.









A wide angle digital with a 28mm lense!





























The Delta II climbs through clouds shortly after liftoff.



This streak shot through the thick clouds shows the Delta II heading to orbit.




Empty SLC-2 Pad after a sucessful launch!
