First 2 separations have happened

Many separations have happened but hardly any that are clearly visible on camera. (Can't rewind with X stream to get better shots until stream ends

)

I've got confirmation from the SatRev team that AMAN-1 is the STORK-7.

What's the reason for the truncated MVAC nozzle? Didn't hear an explanation on the broadcast.

SpaceX have done several times before. They do it on missions where there is plenty of margin. It saves money (and time?) by needing less of the expensive and scarce materials used for the nozzle (I forget which particular element it is).

Congratulations to SpaceX on another epic transporter mission.

The great weather gave some gorgeous views for the launch. Fingers crossed for the remaining unconfirmed deployments.
