Please post solution. I agree with Roberts diagram. But I have computed that the fomalhaut line is decending at a 9.55 degree angle at 3rd stage burnout point and heading in direction of 323.22 degrees which puts my answer (if and when I finish ) somewhere NW of staten island.
Your solution should help me figure out where I went astray. Incidently my intuition based on the geometry, glancing angle, tells me that to be as close as you were is amazing.
