STS-130 Space Shuttle Endeavour launches toward the International Space Station early morning on February 8. The engines were pulsing and this was the best rocket engine burst I got. I was able to view it for only 15 seconds. Canon XSi with 80mm Eon on photo tripod with panhead mount. 1/60 Sec, ISO 1600, f/6.25. Shot in continuous mode. Image enlarged and cropped, otherwise untouched.
