It would've been partly. The elset below takes the inclination, RA of the ascending node and argument of perigee of the now public 43055/17079A elset at the time of circularization and sets a 200km perigee and 22920km apogee. That trajectory would've been in the shadow between 19:00UT and 19:37UT, with the transfer orbit insertion around latitude 24 deg North. Eclipse ingress around 19:00UT would be within 30 degrees from the Zenith for Western Europe, at a range of 1000km. Eclipse egress would not have been visible. Jonathan McDowell notes that the core stage almost does a full orbit (https://twitter.com/planet4589/status/940840242642345984) so would also have been visible (though at a lower altitude).
