Space Shuttle starts at night (detail version)...
The image sequence was recorded by NASA during the space shuttle launch in August 2009 with a pco.dimax. It was taken at full resolution of 2016 x 2016 pixel and 400 fps, and here a detailed extracted version is shown in 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. The camera was mounted in a distance of 800m away from the launch on a solid platform, nevertheless the vibration due to the ignition of the rocket can be clearly seen. During the generation of the video the conversion scaling was changed due to increasing light (can be seen as sudden change to darker images)
To see this video, you must have Flash 8 installed
