ARGG!!
I just got back from trying to see that thing. I'd been wanting to see it for a couple days now and the stupid fog was in the way. My wife and I drove down to the beach hoping to see it and it was fogged in. So we drove up to the top of Palos Verdes, and saw nothing, it was probably too late. It would have been a great spot though, we could see the top of the marine layer below us.
Thats a great picture btw.
Last time I saw a rocket launch from Vandenberg was a daytime launch when I was living in Santa Barbara. I could see the bright point of light that was the rocket plume and with my binoculars even made out the body of the rocket. That one was a Delta I think..
Last time I saw one of these twilight launches was in San Diego several years ago.
