The launch trajectory can be found at the link under the mission section on this page. The trajectory is southeast, but if it is not cloudy I think you will be able to see it.

Hi, thanks for all of this work! Where is your data from? Could it be possible to get data files, or at least summaries of launches by year? In particular, I’d love to know how many launches are scheduled for 2022.
