A sunny perfect Spring day but storms came in late. Since I've seen most of the Starlinks except the new launch (still too far north for my site) I concentrated on getting magnitudes on the older ones, and try to follow them throughout their passage through the sky. Most showed classic satellite behavior of "smooth" brightening and then dimming after culmination. Starlink-1011 might have flared just a bit at 22:16:10 CDT. All of these were seen with my binoculars, except Starlink-52, naked eye.
