Details:
This launch of the SpaceX Falcon9 Rocket took place on April 21 2025 at approx 8:48pm from Florida but was seen over Puerto Rico at around 9pm. I used a Sony A7s camera with an F/0.95 50mm lens to record the event and was able to capture the Ionospheric Hole Effect that was left behind by the Rocket. When I noticed the reddish glow I contacted Stephen Hummel of the University of Texas, and an astronomer at the McDonald Observatory, and he replied that this was indeed an Ionospheric Hole Effect and that it was a 630nm Line Emission.
