Wow, look at that precision

Impressive to nail the bullseye like that...

And just a few seconds before, it almost looked like it was going to miss the drone ship when the ship was in the top corner of the image

(although that was probably a wrong impression due to the approach angle)

Has anyone else noticed that for a lot of the more recent starlink flights the clock shows t=0 at ignition and T+2 or 3 at liftoff? Obviously the rocket is lifting off on time but it seems like that's been happening a lot recently.

Yep, it’s angle. Still had some horizontal velocity to kill as it was coming down, hence it looking like it was a goner
