"This was a way awesome event!" I had no idea what a sight this launch was going to be. It's the last launch ever of the Titan series of launch vehicles. The air was a bit hazy looking toward Vandenberg AFB in the west, where the rocket was launched, so I had do do a fair amount of tweaking in Photoshop to make the rocket visible.
