Default STS-123 Launch

Going to the launch tonight folks. One of the last if not the last shuttle night launch. Plan to take some better shots then last time. Stay tuned. Launch scheduled for 2:28 am EST.

Sorry for the delay. With traffic I didn't get home until about 430 this morning and had to get some sleep. Enjoy the photos ...it truly was a spectacular and awesome sight.
