The 2-5 AM time frame was no good for me, so I called it a night and went to bed around midnight. I woke up at 5 AM and looked out the window, and could see one skinny, twisty trail. A few minutes later I could see three of them. They are changing shape and appearance rapidly and are surprisingly bright.
I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the launches, though.

I can still see two of them, much fainter now. They look sort of like headless comets. But about 10 minutes ago two of them were very bright, round, and diffuse.
Since I didn't know when the launches were going to happen, I didn't set my alarm. I just happened to wake up and look out the window in time to see the trails, but too late to get dressed, go outside, and watch for the launches. Better than nothing, though.
Now I'm wide awake but still have over three hours before work.

Was waiting for them in the parking lot at work, didn't see them. Was driving and saw a few tracers - almost wrecked trying to see them, hehe. Got home, and very very faintly saw them from my back porch. Sadly, couldn't get photos at the time. Cool to see another NASA mission from my yard!

That was fun! I got to watch two Standard Missile Extended Range launches at sea a few decades ago (basically the same booster as these, IIRC). The first was from a ship 2 miles away, and a couple of minutes later the second was launched from the cruiser I was deployed on. I was standing about 150' away. WHOOOSH!

The first stage of all of these vehicles was either a Mk12 or Mk70 Terrier which I do believe was used on some of the first standard missiles.
I missed the launches this morning (bad timing) but I managed to wake up in time to catch the TMA trails. I live about 15 miles from the launch sight and they were really neat to see.
