Upper stage deorbit burn was slightly later than normal. I'm going to assume it is because the expected reentry is slightly later than recent typical Florida missions.

Second time in last 3 missions I got a full sunlit at orbital height pass while it was after sunset on the ground. The one mission I did not see was with the sun 6 deg above the horizon so it was too bright of sky to see anything.
