Observed the Starlink-7 'train' from yesterday's launch from Leiden, the Netherlands, through clearings in the cloud cover, near 22:44 UT (4 Jun). This was a zenith pass, and they were faint: visible in binoculars, but not naked eye. Video had, alas, a field of clouds in the FOV as they were passing. So it really is becoming a pattern: high elevation passes are not good for the brightnes sof these satelllites, passes lower in the south are more favourable. Counter-intuitive, but true for these flat satellites! - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Launchtower: http://launchtower.langbroek.org Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Thu Jun 04 2020 - 18:14:43 UTC
