Thank you. I was watching the sky and hoping the clouds would part so I could see more of the launch. Another 20 minutes and I’d have had a clear spot.
They launched at the earliest time because of all the weather we’ve been having in Florida the last couple of days.
Next launch is July 1 so maybe I’ll get another chance.

Nice perk of living in Florida! And nice photo!
I’m way up in North Carolina, but occasionally those Florida launches leave a vapor plume that’s visible from here after dark. Our local news station posts photos from locals on their site when they capture one.
I went out last night to look but didn’t see any. I’m using the “Next Spaceflight” app to get alerts for Florida launches and then checking the flight path to see if they’re launching northeast instead of southeast for hope of something visible here. I also use “ISS Detector” for alerts of visible Starlink trains and other neat things to look for at night.

Nice vapor trail!
Sadly it’s no longer an AFB, it’s a SFB now.
