T+20 minutes. Over the UK.

Wow! I spotted it from Latvia (as it was going over Central Europe) - first time for me to spot a rocket/sc right after launch. Have tried several times with Starlinks and others but either weather didn't cooperate or I was just unsuccessful.
Was not nearly as bright as ISS (ofcourse) which I have seen a lot and rather low on horizon due to distance, but nevertheless mission completed!
