What should we expect to see in the dark purple region. Would that be about 10 degrees above the horizon, for around 120 seconds? Not sure how to read those maps.

First sighting, for the map on the right for the outermost zone (yellow/green), is 5 degrees after 120 seconds after launch.
You’ll have to wait a couple of minutes before you see anything if you are in that zone assuming you gave good viz that night.

ok so I should see it at around 40 seconds into launch. (VA west of DC) How high will it go in the sky above the horizon?

Good question.
Where you are I would guess roughly around 30 degrees up from the horizon.

My daughter worked for NASA-Wallops over the summer - some on this launch. This is a BIG DEAL! For all the talk about STEM, educating our kids in science and math, and political posturing about our kids, this launch deserves some press. There are young people doing everything right and accomplishing amazing things. They deserve at least the same amount of attention as Miley and her dance, RG3 and his knee, or Bieber and his little-boy-problems. If we want to encourage our kids with science, we need to get them engaged. THIS is the perfect opportunity.

Orbital has their big campus near us in No. Va. Guess which street they’re on.
Warp Drive, of course. (No foolin’)

We live about 15 miles west of DC, so according to the maps, it will only be 10-15 degrees above the horizon. I’ll have to find a tall building just to get above the trees. Any suggestions? Maybe Reston has something open at that time.

If you get east of the District of Criminals the viewing is going to be better because of less light pollution.
Going higher always helps, too!
