The night launches are the best by far. You can actually track the orbiter after SRB separation all the way to MECO - you hear them call it out over the radio (assuming you're listening to it over the loudspeakers or broadcast) and you see the little white dot (orbiter SSMEs) just wink out. Pretty cool when you think that little white dot is pretty much all the way across the Atlantic by that point.
