Wow I can almost see the astronauts you got so close!
He obviously didnt put on his zoom lens because the shuttle wasnt launching .
The closest a person can get to the shuttle is about 7 miles at a cost of $54 a person, free viewing areas are 12 miles away, which is where we was at.
What lens do you suggest I use so I can see the astronauts?
The photos you usually see of the shuttle are either official NASA photos or from the press, which have to set up there cameras and operate them remotely.
You should really look into it.

You are correct, no shuttle in photo, too far away and down a bit also.
They are trying again today and I may go down again, haven't decided yet.
I'll use my 300mm to get the closest shot I can, once the thing lights up you can't miss it.
We usually just watch here from the house which is about 120 miles away, so 12 miles away is much closer for us, we will actually hear it from 12 miles, maybe even feel it.
Here are some photos from the same area, Titusville.

Yes, just remember that whatever factor teleconversion lens you get, also multiplies the maximum aperture by that factor. ie if you get a 2.0x teleconverter with a lens with a maximum aperture of f/4, your max aperture is now f/8. Just something to keep in mind. Depending on the lens you can also lose autofocus capability.

you dont want to be close......for obvious reasons
So what is that? About a 70-210?
Great shots here, BTW!!!
Thanks!
Used a 500mm f8 mirror reflex lens
