A 5:00 check of Coal Oil Point showed not much in the cove although a healthy amount of fellows were heading out towards Sands. I imagine a little bit is showing up around the corner but instead I'm opting to work and wait for the alleged swell that should be on our doorstep in the next 24 hours or so.

Vandenberg is having yet another Missile Launch between 7:00-11:00 tonight. If it's early enough it should be good for photography. Launch Alert recommends these settings for you SLR folks:

To capture the vehicle on the way up, use Fuji Superia 800 film and 4, 2, 1, and 1/2 second exposures at f/2.8.

To capture the aftermath (twisted contrail), use Fuji Superia 400 with exposures of 16, 8, 4, and 2 seconds at f/2.8
