Details:
I saw Artemis II flying over Fuerteventura approximately 15 minutes after its launch. At first, I did not expect to see anything, as no orbital data were available. So I didn’t know where, or even if, the rocket would be visible.
Suddenly, I spotted two bright dots (about magnitude 0 to 1) in the sky. They were visible for about a minute before entering Earth’s shadow.
I was really lucky to witness the launch. It was a lucky shot!
