Thank to Ron, Dan and everyone else for the launch info. Observed burn just after it began at 23:16:28 UTC. It was about 0.5 deg in arc and resembled a straight horn (ie, trumpet). Burn was visible at 1x in the twilight. It continued until it was about 1.5 deg and quickly dissipated and disappeared in the twilight at 23:16:50. The source of the burn was very apparent - a white glowing spot at the apex(?) of the trumpet It was about 15 deg to the right of Polaris (Az15, El 40) Great Show. Much better that the one at 2:30am EST.
