I just saw this amazing time-lapse video of Discovery, and had to share it. This was taken by photographers Scott Andrews, Stan Jirman, and Philip Scott Andrews, and is comprised of 6 weeks and thousands of images. You can see how the vehicle is prepped for launch and rolled out to the launch pad, and finally lift-off. Enjoy.

Venus and the Crescent Moon
While on my way out the door last night I spotted a scene so beautiful I had to double back and photograph it. Looking westward, there hung a brilliant Venus just above the crescent Moon.
1" exposure at f/2.8

Live Eyjafjallajökull Stream
Wile not exactly in the category of amateur astronomy, I found this too cool not to share. There is now a live video stream of the volcano with an accompanying infrared view as well. It's a really neat perspective over the satellite imagery we've seen.
Two screen shots I took this morning. Above is the infrared image. Currently clouds are blocking the direct view of the volcano.
