The NASA website has a Java applet which computes observing opportunities on the entry path. It is functional as of Nov 6. Run the Skywatch applet from: http://www.spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/index.html http://www.spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/JavaSSOP.html You may use the input tab manually or click on the map to select your site. In the Satellite pulldown, click on KSC 238 entry or KSC 239 entry If the path is above your horizon, you will get a table of altitudes and azimuths with times. I have also seen shuttles on entry in daylight, about as bright as Venus around magnitude minus 4, so it's possible, though not the spectacle of a night entry.
