Hello everyone! Thanks for checking out my image! I made this 10-photograph composite of the most recent Falcon 9 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral (October 30, 2017-- KoreaSat 5A). I shot dozens of pictures as the rocket lifted off and chose the best few to create an appealing spacing between the different stages of launch. The photos were taken from Playalinda Beach, one of the closest public areas to view a launch from Pad 39A. I am a 19-year-old photographer on Florida's Space Coast who shoots launches, ISS transits, and much more from the land, air, and water. The best place to see more would be on Instagram @MARCUSCOTE_PHOTO where I currently take and upload an original photo every single day for a 365 photo challenge! Edit: had to repost because it was removed by a bot.
Do you have a frame rate for the timing of the photos? With that and a little scale magic, we could calculate the acceleration of the rocket as it launched.

Space X has really upped their launch cadance beyond my expectations. 20 launches a year? Please, we're doing 20 launches a minute.
