Marginal twilight — a faint plume may show, largely washed out by sky glow.

Heading from Dillon's pre-launch TLE (low confidence). Footprint walks a generic ascent profile along that bearing.
Mixed conditions — viable but not a guaranteed shot.
A jellyfish plume climbs above 100 km and is visible for hundreds of kilometers — but only through clear sky. Cloud cover is the single biggest factor in whether you'll actually see it.
Set your location to see exactly which way to look, how high the plume climbs, and whether you're inside a viewing zone.
Zones match the grade meter: Possible (outer) → Likely → Prime (inner). Closer to the pad and deeper in twilight means a brighter, higher plume. Look toward the launch around liftoff, into the darker part of the sky.
