I think I timed ignition at 17:06:00 EST.  (Maybe a few seconds after that.)

And I clocked shutdown at 17:12:00 EST.  So that would have been a full-duration run at the anticipated 6 minutes.

Same, hand timed around the 365 seconds they were targeting.  Also could see the unusual low/high/low throttle curve.

Hey @NASASpaceflight, found some Rocket Rain for you! Had to process the photo pretty aggressively to make it stand out, but the test looked great from here!

Great article Philip, Thank you! :) We got rain from this test, expect a local monsoon for the "core test"... ;D
