1.6 million pounds of metal, it is monster of a rocket.

Screen burn-in just after seperatation? Like the old computer days? Nice launch.

Nice work! Cool IR footage!

[@r0cketplumber]

At 1:23 we can see how the core engine is at lower throttle than the boosters to conserve propellants until after booster cutoff and separation. This gets much of the benefit of crossfeed with none of the hassle.

Wow! I'm glad you added an IR camera, it sure did let you track a lot farther into the haze. Is there some sort of snapshot or calibration mode that made the negative burn-in features appear?

[@edgeiger6621]

Since we don't have deep pockets I was able pick up through my surplus channels a gyrocam mid-range Ir system that was being scrapped and was able to power it up. It has many control wires which I have no idea what they do so it does some kind of calibration issue . Since I have very limited knowledge on ir systems we are looking for help in this area

@@edgeiger6621 Well you've all done a fantastic job so far.

But, Where did it land ? Davey Jones locker again ?

[@FrankBenlin]

Davey collects space junk.

[@hotsaucedave2373]

My camera did. I was able to snag it out of the river 2 days later. Saved everything but the Pentax K-70 camera body
