Holy crap. Looks too good to be real

Wow! Beautiful.

Awesome. Did anyone else find themselves trying to scroll up or down to move the camera when the rocket was going off-screen? That's just one of those flukes of using technology a little too much. Like when something shitty happens to me and I try to downvote it.

So the sonic boom caused ice crystals to form in circular patterns causing the sun dog?

The ice crystals and sundog were already there as visible by the prismatic effect that becomes visible on the right at 1:51. The sonic boom created the ripples through those crystal clouds.

What exactly are we seeing? The shockwaves -- rapid high and low pressure -- cause water vapor to condense into clouds and then evaporate back into gaseous form?

Or like in one of those shampoo commercials when the chick (or guy in your case) is shampooing her hair in the shower and you stand up so you can try to look down past the bottom of the screen?

[I sometimes like to imagine my ideas and thoughts have similar effects while in a state of development...]

The roar of the rocket made secondary ripples. Cool.
