Details:
I went to the Very Large Array in New Mexico to shoot Comet Lemmon with the Radio Dish array in the background. While I was there, I witnessed a launch from about 700 miles to the west of a Falcon9. While the launch was dimly visible in the twilight, as the sune set it illuminated the launch plume beautifully. Of course at that time of night it also illuminated many Starlink satellites already in orbit, with Comet Lemmon completing the scene.
