Somewhat OT, but as there was already something posted about it on the list:

This Trident-II test launch happend yesterday on 21 Sept near 23:27 UTC and was
seen and imaged from Puerto Rico.

I have posted imagery (courtesy of Eddie Irizarry, SAC) and an analysis based on
the combination of the trajectory from Navigational Warnings, and astrometric
measurements of the track of the missile in the sky as seen from Puerto Rico by
a SAC station, here:

The sky track as observed from Puerto Rico points to an apogee at 2200 km for
this test. - Marco
