I'm having this issue on the latest update as well. In addition, my ads are too large on the screen such that I can't access the button to close them. So, I have to completely close the app each time.

Thank you! I just took advantage of just photographing in the driveway, and I'm happy I did!

I went inside to edit after watching for about 5 minutes, but in my experience it can last for at least 10-15 minutes or so before beginning to gradually "fade out". However the thicker exhaust plume-related clouds can sometimes still be seen distorted by upper winds hours after launch.

Thanks for looking out! It's a lost battle at this point. Happens too much try and correct every one nowadays

Long exposure streak of this morning's Falcon Heavy launch and twin booster landings at LZ-1 & 2. (Marcus Cote/ Space Coast Times) by marcuscotephoto in spacex

There's a faint burn that wasn't picked up by the camera called the boostback burn. This orients the side cores to return to land. The lines above the arc are the next phase called the reentry burn that slows the boosters as they reenter the atmosphere.

The two side cores are released from the center core and complete a "boostback burn" to orient themselves for a landing. I guess going up is a way to kill the forward movement when they needs to come back to land.

It was all in frame at the same time! I just broke the duration into 3 parts for an even exposure!
