Hey Paul,
I created this chart based on DA14's pre-encounter ephemeris:
http://www.dfacaz.org/maps/DA14-PLOT.jpg
This would put DA14 passing west of Kappa Draconis between 6:30-7:00 pm.
But it'll be low in the NNE. Azimuth 15, elevation 20, M+11. Still gonna
give it a try, visually, but I hear the orbital elements were
significantly perturbed by Earth's gravity ... so it's kind of a crap
shoot. Good luck.
