Unfortunately due to a power interruption, my telescope rebooted right as the tracking began. I had to do a very quick and very dirty computer re-alignment even as Phobos was rising into the sky. Rebooting while the computer was still trying to send commands sent the drives into a nasty series of oscillations, making steady tracking impossible. I trimmed the video to just the segments where Phobos-Grunt passed through the field of view and slowed the video to 1/3rd speed.
Tracked with an 8" LX200 telescope using Brent Boshart's Satellite Tracker program. Recorded with a modified Samsung SDC-435 @ f/10. 1/500 sec exposure, AGC off.

I filmed the launch and explosion of the Falcon 9 this morning from the Indian River using a Meade 8" LX200 Classic Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (f/6.5 after focal reduction) and Canon T5i camera. Due to a spectator who started yelling at my telescope and I right at launch I replaced the audio with the audio from launch control. I also trimmed a portion in the middle where I had to point the telescope away from the rocket to avoid pointing at the sun. Fortunately I was able to reacquire the rocket right before the explosion.
