Saw it go past......
Watched the shuttle fly up the East Coast past Central NJ (Monmouth
County)......went down to the end of our street [Colts Neck, NJ] a
couple of minutes after launch, and waited several minutes more. Sure
enough, orange-yellowish fairly bright/fuzzy spot of light, moving from
south to north at a speed obviously greater than other air traffic,
appeared as expected.
Went behind some thin clouds a few times, but got a decent look overall
as moved across my field of view. I'd estimate about 30 degrees above
the horizon but that's just a guess.
2nd time I've seen it from here on its way to ISS, just as exciting as
the 1st. Hooray for clear (well, mostly clear :-) skies !
