Burn Cloud from 10/13/26 SpaceX Launch

I believe what I have captured here is one of the controlled burns (perhaps the Boostback Burn for Falcon 9) of NASA's SpaceX 35th Cargo Resupply Mission to the International Space Station. The Cargo Dragon spacecraft itself has just disappeared behind the tree leaves. The stars to the right of the cloud are Dubhe, Merak and Phecda of the Big Dipper.
