Hi:

Could someone suggest a Website that can tell me the azimuth of the launch 
site as seen from Miami, Florida? I am at
 25.6554°N, 80.3503°W

I would like to use my planetarium software to synchronize on a known star, 
and then SLEW my camera/telescope to the predicted azimuth and maximum 
altitude of the ascent as seen from my location.

Thank you.

Adam
