This time exposure photograph of the Mobile Service Structure makes the structure appear as a streak of light as it moves away from the Skylab 4 space vehicle the night before the launch.

Very impressive capture. If Mobile Service Structures could talk, I'll bet this one would be saying, "Hey, Rocket, who's fast NOW!!," or "eat MY dust for a change."

Super stunning shot! All those bright glowing lights are fantastic. I like how there's a variety of colors too. And can just makeout the fence below all the lights.Oh, the space vehicle is impressive too!!

Whoa...now this is damn impressive! I love how the exposure was done.....the colors almost look flame-like in their display. The shuttle itself is quite impressive int he background, Thank you for the hard work you do to bring us these NASA images. I deeply appreciate them and keep a folder of them as you know by now! You are appreciated :~)

I looked at the thumb for a long time. I knew it was long exposure but at first I thought it was some sort of digital information board very close in the foreground in front of the viewing stand. This is a very impressive shot.
