I bet they don't have pinpoint accuracy even today; their struggles to catch the fairings is evidence enough of that. But I bet they get within 1-2 km of their target spot, and the ships can close that distance in a hurry.

To be honest I've never been to a broadway show I didn't like.

There may be two opportunities to see both the space station and the Crew Dragon tonight. 9:12 Central for 5 minutes (if it is dark enough and the clouds are not to heavy), and again at 10:48 for only 2 minutes.
I'm not sure if they will be on the same path this time like they were prior to hook up, but both were clearly visible in the night sky at that point in time. |

That's for ISS, not Dragon, but Dragon should be right behind (I assume) tonight. |

Looks like they're going as far west as they can. Makes sense.

Webcast is live (and will be until they're on the ground). Either NASA or SpaceX work.
