Starlink pictures - max - 03-25-2020 Not finding a fitting category but i wanted to share this with the group. Not long ago someone pointed out that the starlink train of satellites were visible overhead and so i watched the new spectacle on a clear night, i thought it was fascinating, 60+ satellites in a line moving across the sky at low altitude and clearly visible conjured up a vision of Santa Claus on his sled with the reindeer ( i do have a wide imagination ), the whole show lasts about 5 minutes from horizon to horizon and it requires the twilight to illuminate the train but i found it fascinating to watch. The next day i got the camera out and waited for them to appear, which they did but the timing was such that the sun was not in an optimum position and i only got the first 2 minutes of the pass before the train went into the earth's shadow. here are the two pictures, the train is roughly in the middle, click and click + again. and this one; To be on time i used an app from the play store called: starlink, basic but it works. There are ongoing launches like these for a chance to see them in the future. RE: Starlink pictures - Gone in 60 - 03-25-2020 Wow, that's awesome! I've never seen that. But then again, we've got plenty of light pollution around here. Thank you for sharing that. RE: Starlink pictures - Cormanus - 03-25-2020 Great pictures, max. Thanks.
