So - went down to Washington Rock State Park in Warren NJ, and there were ~60 people there. The launch was spectacular - a beautiful orange glow, then stage one burn out and stage 2 launch with a gas trail behind. The angle was higher than I expected - or maybe the viewpoint from the escarpment meant it looked higher, but it was cool anyway.
I only had a snappy camera with me, but I can upload some white blobs (erm no...). There were guys there with 1 ft telephoto lenses. I grabbed this off a monitor screen off a big Canon camera:

There was some deliberate long aperture work here, as the arc was not quite this long to the naked eye, but you get a hint of how nice it was.
Bravo NASA - off to the moon again, albeit just for a science scan!
