Falcon Heavy From Launch to Landing in 4K! USSF-67

On Sunday 1/15/23 at 5:56 pm local time, a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launched a mission for the Space Force, USSF-67. I was able to track one of the boosters from launch at LC-39A to landing at LZ-1. This was filmed with an 11“ Celestron NexStar GPS using a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K camera at an effective equivalent focal length of 5.6 meters. This used a new, experimental version of my RocketTraker software, adaptively looking through the trajectory prediction published by and seeking the closest point in the trajectory file based on the rocket’s observed position and time. This allowed for greater tolerance of deviations from the expected timing of the booster landing and allowed me to follow it all the way down. This new version of RocketTraker will be published soon on my community page exclusively for channel members!
