That's a good stop on the launch. It's rare to be ready, good job.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

Patrick, you are so right... they are so quick that it's a challenge to get them unless they're sort of hovering.

David, since I got my bean bag and started shooting at f/8 (one stop down from minimum), image quality has improved drastically.
