It has been nearly 1.5 years since my last rocket launch capture. A couple of trips were made but were postponed/canceled after making the trip to the space coast.
I really wanted to make this launch since it was going to take place about an hour before sunrise. Hopefully, that would allow for some dark blue skies in the background. Early morning launch of SpaceX Starlink group 4-17 @ 5:42am EDT. Launch was on schedule. Captured from Port Canaveral Beach, FL
