Here's a msg from someone who saw launch from Flagstaff (copied from my astronomy group). I almost cried when I read that the initial boost contrail wasn't the end of the show. I look forward to seeing his images....running a couple cameras and a sketch pad
This is my first post to the forum. I observed the Juno launch from about 160 miles west in Flagstaff, AZ (as noted in the message that ginahoy posted). It sounds like the booster contrail* was difficult to see from central to southern Arizona. I'm attaching a photo that shows both contrails.
