From my San Pedro, CA. location (Los Angeles Harbor area) was able to clearly observe the rocket as it arched southward with an almost horizontal trajectory. The burn had a distinct "cranberry" hue until it seemingly clipped Jupiter and then disappeared into the clouds. I have to admit in the excitement, I neglected to look at my watch again, but the "hole" in the cloud cover allowed for several minutes of unforgettable naked eye and binocular observations! A.
