Watching rocket launches from San Diego, CA

San Diego regularly sees Vandenberg night and twilight launches despite the ~400 km distance — the southbound trajectory brings the vehicle almost overhead-offshore. Twilight plumes are visible citywide; check the time and look northwest. Distances are approximate.
