Details:
The launch noctilucent display consisted of a vertical portion attached to the western horizon stretching about 4 degrees followed by a horizontal section. First appearance was 2 minutes after liftoff and remaind visible for 45 minutes becoming brighter as the minutes wore on. As the rocket moved southeast it left a 45 long horizontal noctilucent trail which developed a small circlet at the start and gradually faded away. At video start it shows one piece falling away as the rocket and its fan appendages moved forward. Meanwhile the vertical portion of the launch cloud remained attached to the horizon becoming very intensely bright, moreso than any prior SPACEX launch we have seen.
