if you open the access and take a look at the inside of the roof you will see the way the trusses are laied out.. the roof rafters will run the same way as the truss as they are part of the truses.

if you take a look at this page the bottom part of the truss is your roof rafter. so you will be able to see this with out moving any insulation or even getting any more of your body into the atic than your head.
