Had a fantastic view of it in San Diego. Loved watching the stage separation. Incredible!

I took some photos. We'll see how they came out. Never tired this before.

I saw the whole thing in clear skies from San Diego.
Staging was great, left the glowing cloud by the moon.

Watched it dissappear toward the horizon.

There were two other objects with it. Must be the jettisoned shroud Im guessing. Gave me a little worry things werent right. But updates say all is going well.

The coolest thing I saw related to spacecraft was the shuttle hooked up to the ISS. Just after dawn on a crystal clear morning - about 15 seconds across the sky. We were on the road from Johnson City to Asheville, and had pulled off the road to see is we could see it.

Talk about moving on!!
