Details:
SpaceX launched Starlink Group 6-74 from Cape Canaveral SFS at 01:52 UTC. Approximately 1h28m later the 2nd stage began its deorbit burn as it moved across the west coast and overhead in Arizona. This is a composite of several 30-seconds images for the period 2020–2024 MST.

After it passed overhead, I swung the camera around to point to the east and got these two additional shots of the deorbit and the red ionospheric glow.

Nikon D850, Rokinon 12mm Fisheye, ISO 800, f/2.8, 30 seconds.
