But is all this going to be included in the protocols for Starlink brightness estimates? With another launch this week, we need rules, and a charter, and some assurance the data will be used. It’s a task to report mags to +/- 0.5 for 20-30 Starlinks in a train or over a few hours. It is a very difficult task to report 10 to +/- 0.1 Can any of the Satcon WG participants speak to these issues?

The AAVSO magnitudes are V unless otherwise noted. The magnitudes in Stellarium are probably also V but I could not verify that. Additionally, the brightness of comparison stars should be displayed to a tenth (0.1) of a magnitude. The estimated satellite magnitude should also be recorded to a tenth.
