Are the clouds building up, or is it just me?
Off to the west, yes. That's part for the sea breeze. Off to the east it's relatively crystal clear.

Checked L2 but couldn't find it - is it safe to assume this is a high-Q ascent trajectory?

The thermal imagers the Ice Team used look like the ones my fire fighters on JOHN F. KENNEDY used, a great piece of gear!
