I sent a set of monochrome images from this observing session earlier. But here is
an interesting color image of the subject. We see the upper stage of a Japanese
H2A 2024 Rocket which carried the IGS-1 satellites into orbit.
Color is enhanged but real. If you see a launch image of this rocket type,
you will see the color is indeed comparable:
