GO Searcher and GO Navigator are now coming back to Port Canaveral with fairings. Tug Hollywood and GO Quest appear to have waited for daylight to crew transfer to safe the booster on OCISLY and throw the line to the tug. We should see westerly movement by noon. #SpaceXFleet

Nice booster landing shots. The nose cones look a little toasty:

A few more of mine, just to show how perfect a day it was for launch; Boost-back, re-entry and landing burns, all clearly visible.

Edit: Back home now and realized the first picture is separation not boostback, but I do have a picture of boostback, so attaching that.
