I like to watch the launches when they're carrying astronauts.

Ooooo! Nice! A pre-dawn launch. If it's not cloudy, should light up the night sky!

No, it will be 2:49 AM on the West Coast if the launch is at 5:49 AM on the East Coast at the Kennedy Space Center.

Is it still dark at that time? It's light here, with actual sunrise at 6:08am.

Tomorrows sunrise here in Ocala Florida is at 6:54am and the launch is at 5:49 am so it will be dark at launch time.

Nice launch!! It still amazes me that the 1st stage makes a controlled landing on the drone ship out in the Atlantic Ocean.
