Video duration: 88 seconds

A series of still shots of the launch os the space shuttle Atlantis on mission STS 117. Taken from Eastern Orlando, about 30 miles from the launch site. The images are shown for two seconds each, but that's probably a little fast, as I don't think my camera was taking pictures every two seconds.
