Launch window and launch lattitude

At KSC, to an ISS orbit, the shuttle has about a 10 minute window, 5
minutes on either side of the perfect time.
If Shuttle were to be launched from an equatorial launch site, what
would the launch window be ?
If Shuttle were to be launched from say Baikonur, roughly 45° if I
remember correctly, what would its launch window be ?
