Things are looking good for a launch at the Cape tonight. We may drive up.

Is there any way to get more a more precise indication of the launch time than the two-hour window given?

No, but generally they will launch at the beginning of the window if they can. The only reason for delay would be either weather issues (e.g. clouds or lightning nearby) or a technical glitch that they think they can solve within the window. If all goes well, it will launch at 9:37. Because they don't have to worry about abort (and weather at multiple sites), there are a lot fewer weather issues with a launch like this than a Shuttle. I'd say it's pretty likely to go on time, barring technical problems.
