you could always go outside and watch it directly. I'll be
doing it at Jordan Lake. It will pass by rising in the SE to
an elevation of about 15deg in the E and then set in the NE.
It's visible naked eye during the day. People upto Maine can
see it. I've also watched several night launches from Lake
Jordan. In a telescope you can see the bell shaped flame.
The last one I saw left an enormous cloud in the
stratosphere above the launch site. I assume it was water
vapour.
