Thanks for the info Mike. I've done a bit of looking since and I've seen a few long exposures taken from the Orlando area which show the streak of light rising up into the sky. Maybe I'll try for something like that if I don't actually make it closer.

I think I am going to try to get out to Titusville or the Port Canavral area if possible...it's only an hour drive

Also, what I saw put the launch window at 12:15am to 2:15am... So yes, very dark. Where did you get the 4am time? Do these things change very often?
