No pics from my vantage point along highway 132 -15 miles west of Modesto.
Found a spot off the highway with an unobstructed view to the south. Arrived at 8 pm. Set up one camera on the tripod and another in hand. At 8:12, a CHP pulled over, climbed out and asked what the heck I was doing. He seemed satisfied with the Vandenberg launch story, told me to be careful and he was on his way. I packed it in at around 8:30 and headed back home. Had the top down on the car and kept scanning the southern horizon but saw nothing.
Not a totally wasted trip though. Got some nice sunset shots while I was waiting, an nice visit with a CHP without getting a ticket and my sinuses got cleared after passing by a couple of dairies. :)
With all the clouds and pollution tonight, the sunset pictures should be great.
