Occurred while observing the Spacex Dragon Crew 3 launch - it crossed the estimated track of the vehicle, but I was unable to see the spacecraft during the climbout from my location. Was able to identify where the fireball track was using field stars in the attached photo along with viewing geometry in Google Earth.
