Absolutely Gorgeous view from here in EL88pg, about 150 miles west of the launch pad. I snapped a crappy cell phone picture from the parking lot of where we were having dinner. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q305/glasbrenner/PIC-0116.jpg Even with the horrid quality, you can see the darkness, then sunset, then full sun along the exhaust plume. That photo was about a minute after booster separation.
I'm a native Floridian, and seeing a shuttle launch never gets old.
