Thanks to Jim and Kelli for the loaner camera – a great Nikon S610 Coolpix (I’ll admit it: I didn’t want to lug around my DSLR at a dance). Turn the Nikon on and it’s immediately ready to shoot, and it captures great detail. Check out the stars against the rocket fuselage in the background of this picture.
