Wow, Greg. Amazing photo! I'm not sure there's really a position fix in this, but who cares?! Thank you for posting it regardless. :)
Any of you who did not see news coverage of this Falcon launch, go here:

This was "fifth try's a charm". Four previous launch attempts were scrubbed for various reasons. The last delay was caused by a giant cruise ship violating the downrange safe zones. That was actually a direct inspiration for my "Height of Eye" puzzle as posted last night.
