Since I moved to Fl I have always wanted to see a live launch, well thats been done now.
I highly recommend to see a live launch in person at least once in your life. I have always watched them from TV all my life and now that Im living in Florida I finally got my chance to see one in person. Now I wasn't expecting to see a close up shot as you would on TV but something just as good. I wasn't disappointed, I will be going to see every one now. But I think next time I am going to go on KSC grounds to watch from their observation deck.
These pictures were taken from Jetty Park about 10.8 miles from the launch site.

This image below was taken about 2 minutes after liftoff, you can barly see the srb's seperate but can make out the main engines. It looks like a star to just right of the center of the picture.
