i wonder if they signal the satellite to release, or is it the rocket's job to cut it free. i'd speculate if anything was going wrong, it would stay together in an attempt to destroy itself

I had the cloud just over the horizon too. I'm not sure what was over the "11 o'clock" area of the moon also, that threw me off at first. Then it all happened within the span of about 1 minute.
I should have brought something other than a 35mm lens with me since I had a pretty nice vanatage point. Had to resort to the cell phone.
