Onboard Photos from the Third Launch

35mm photo set from balloon-launched flight #3.  All altitudes are in feet above sea level, as given by the GPS.  The launch field is at about 230' ASL.  There was some high scattered cloud cover and general haze this day.  Given that and the low winter sun, a faster film would have been better.
