Default Question on Viper Launch

Does anyone have a reasonable estimate of the angle at which Vipers emerged from the sides of the launch bays?

Based on some still photos I've seen in the past, I think it is on a horizontal plane with the Galactica, and probably about 45 degrees from the longitudinal axis of the ship. Can anyone direct me to good still photos where this can be determined? The question relates to Two-Brain's recent question on reversing/slowing Vipers and forward motion related to the Galactica's initial speed over at the other board, but knowing our experts here, I figured someone would either have a good answer or tell me how far off base I really am!

Thanks,

Lucian
