The VISUAL.TLE list that I composed, and posted by TS Kelso, contains
about 120 of the brightest satellites. Is that the list you refer to?
If you regularly see satellites not in the list, let me know so I can add
them.
What is the magnitude of the sats you see?
What is the naked eye mag limit of your location?
VISUAL.TLE has most satellites that normally reach about mag 3.8
