It was a beautiful scene, seen here looking out over Port Canaveral.

One minute to first separation. The second and third separations won't have ground coverage.

No live video from the second stage.  We wouldn't have live video for the 2nd and 3rd deployments because they will be out of range of all SpaceX ground stations.

Edit: Brief moments of second stage video connectivity.

Support your local planetarium! (COVID-panic and forward: Now more than ever.) My current avatar is saying "i wants to go uppies!" Yes, there are God-given rights. Do you wish to gainsay the Declaration of Independence?

Vision system working well. This data will serve as additional training to further refine it. Local computer installed at KSC (hopefully early next year) will remove the guidance challenges. Confident in fully autonomous launch to landing tracks in the future.
