Because of you, I was able to do it again: this time with a lighthouse!

I traveled to the Parker Solar Probe launch with a crazy idea to combine my top 3 beacons of creativity.

Enjoy this 5-7 minute read about what it was like to see the lighthouse in the day / night and capture a launch from the Air Force Station.

Why the delay? Parker Solar Probe launched two weeks ago!!!!111

I had to wait for the 45th Space Wing Public Affairs to approve the photos shared here. If I intend on ever having an opportunity like this again - what they say, goes.

Uncover the settings I used, download hi-res versions of these photos (personal use only), and get prints if interested here: https://www.tmahlmann.com/photos/Rockets/United-Launch-Alliance/Parker-Solar-Probe/

I plan on doing a tutorial / video about FlightClub and how I plan out photos like this soon. Would you be interested in knowing more about that?

Next launch: Final ULA Delta II sending ICESat-2 up on Sept 15. (Vandenberg AFB, California)

Thereafter: First SpaceX RTLS, likely SAOCOM-1A (Vandenberg AFB, California)

Thanks so much for your continued support and making images/this creative career possible. Keep looking up!
