I'm lLooking for the post-injection orbit for the upcoming James Webb Space
Telescope.

I have a friend who will be in Barbados during the launch.  While he won't
be able to see the launch itself, I believe he will have a pass that first
night (although at very high altitude).  He's an astrophotographer and is
interested in seeing if he can get an image of the JWST 'star-trail' that
night.  While my back of the envelope calcs can determine he will have a
pass, they are nowhere near accurate enough to provide him with pointing
vectors of sufficient accuracy for him to point his telescope/camera.

Anyone have, or know where to get, pre-flight estimates for the nominal
post-injection orbit?

Daryl
