Image Details:

The launch of Intuitive Machines’ IM-1 mission on board SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A in Florida 1:05 a.m. EST Thursday, Feb. 15. The image was captured from the observatory's all sky camera. 10 second exposure.
Note the sky and trees brightness change from the falcon 9 after it lifts off even over sixty miles away! The booster separation can be clearly seen as well as the first stage boost-back burn for the return landing in the last few frames. The video can be viewed at MEO's web site.
