Details:
Went out to look at the moon, which had already set behind a nearby mountain, and saw an oddly shaped and very bright cloud for the time of day (30 minutes after sunset) to the southwest.
The cloud turned out to be the contrail of a Falcon 9 rocket which had launched from Vandenberg about ten minutes earlier. As the sun angle changed the contrail developed beautiful colors.
Pentax K-70; 50mm lens; 0.8sec exposure; f/5.6; ISO 1600
