Pleased to point out this launch, directed in a northeast trajectory may well be visible along the Atlantic Seaboard. From Lower Delaware looking East towards the Southeast it is hoped the now familiar starfish will appear around 6 or 7 minutes after Falcon 9 abruptly springs from Pad 39-A in Florida.
The window currently open at 1806 hrs and closes around 1900. It won't hurt to look east around one-quarter after 6 tonite!

Also saw this in SouthCentral PA, although I did not know at the time what I was seeing. I just knew that "airliner in a cloud, which moved along with the airliner in an otherwise clear sky" was something else.

I'm guessing this photo, hosted on adrive, taken at 7:57 PM EST caught the last satellite deployment (Legion 6)? The timeframe does not make sense, and I wish my photography skills were better.
