Hi all - long time lurker, first time post.... For the last few nights that it has been clear here in the UK (53N 001E) I have observed multiple Starlink flares. These are all in the West, low in the sky and only occur when the sun is around -40° below the horizon. From about 19.45 to 20.30 I have seen about one flare every few minutes with occasional dual flares flying close together. Often the flares are crossed by others in polar orbits. Tonight I saw one flare that I estimate was magnitude -1.5, almost as bright as Jupiter. I think this is only a winter phenomenon for the UK as the sun only gets that low over the horizon between October and March. Is anyone else observing these or able to predict them?
