Then off to a meeting at 7PM immediately after the launch.

I want to try to get pictures, but don't know how to set up the exposure. My camera has a 60 second maximum shutter speed, and I think I'll want to use all 60 seconds. I guess I'll want to use the lowest sensitivity on the sensor and a tiny aperture. But don't want to go so small that the light from the rocket isn't visible at all. I need to try to research this somehow. Only get one chance to get it right.

What kind of camera do you have glatt?
