Camera likes to think for me at low light ,I got one photo with focus ,rocket itself isn't visible

sometimes I am too tired to drive and didn't want to drive to get a few miles closer. that would have placed me in a better view of looking from underneath it but it still would have not looked much better as the camera looks for light. the rocket exhaust was that bright as most of the exposure and light has been removed. it was in the middle of a cloud when I took that, and not dark like I made it look. since I hate the haze of low light I choose not to leave that . I may practice more on launches. just post them and I will photo them. like the moon I can use the practice.

I was hoping the exhaust was going to be like the others, and shuttle with that long and bright exhaust trail.

I will play with timed exposures .just need a clear field of view
