That's great; I was hoping you would try for it. I took advantage of the clear sky yesterday to check out the darkness and select my intercept point. At the predicted time of the pass, darkness was more than adequate to see the payload and rocket. I am likely to have to settle for somewhat brighter, more distantly spaced reference stars than I prefer. Your more easterly location will be 15 min deeper into twilight, so conditions will much better. Cloud is forecast for the twilight pass, but I am optimistic it will clear in time. Sky should certainly be clear for one or more of the later passes.
