Falcon 9 puts on an incredible display as its second stage heads to orbit with Dragon and its first stage performs its boostback burn to return to land at Cape Canaveral! #CRS20

A closeup, long exposure look at Falcon 9’s boostback burn and second stage burn, and the resulting plume interaction between the two stages. Incredible.

The @SpaceX #Dragon #CRS20 imaged passing in morning twilight from #Leiden, Netherlands, some 23 minutes after launch.
Visible are: the Falcon 9 upper stage and the DRagon (brightest objects center) and two tumbling solar panel covers flanking them. 2 second exposure 85 mm lens.

Anotated version of the previous image, identifying objects.
The Falcon 9 upper stage was about magnitude +1.5, CRS-20 about magn. +2 to +2.5, the tumbling solar covers varied between +1.5 and invisible. Very impressive!
