Apogee (in stacking terms). Now rotating Ship 25 to join Booster 9 and become the tallest rocket ever (even more than the last full stack due to the hot staging ring).

Nearly there

It now looks to be in place but hard to be sure from ground level cameras

It's interesting that one of the pipes has no match on the Hot Stage ring (Red circle). There is the same situation on the other side, out of view.

The second picture is the same connection close up

ICYMI...and don't want to sit for 2 hours for a re-run...here's a timelapse of the full thing! Note how the settle and coupling took longer than the lift itself.

After carefully navigating to the perfect spot, and exposing for over 3.5 hours, I was able to capture the stars dancing around Starship's full stack.
