It was scrubbed because of a ship downrange. I understand that it's rescheduled for tonight (Tuesday) at around 6:30 p.m. Not sure of the exact time, but I'm gonna try for it again myself.

Yep! Just read that.
Any thoughts as to which lens should be used?
Wide angle/landscape lens? Or long/birding lens?

Where is the launch site.
It launches from Wallops Island on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. We are suppose to be able to see it from here in Central Virginia area (Richmond) shortly after lift off.

NASA says the ISS will make a pass overhead about 5 minutes after launch. Go to http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/index.cfm#.VE-uXxauRk4
to look up when/where to see the ISS.

What would be way cool is if you could get a shot with both, the rocket launch AND the ISS in the photo. The rocket being launched is to supply the ISS.

Back in Nov, 2009, I caught the ISS and Shuttle 'Atlantis' after they separated in a single frame. Shot handheld with a Tamron lens @ 500mm and a Pentax K20D camera.

Here's a link that was just posted locally on FB about the launch. You can enlarge the map to see when you should be able to see it after launch.
