1) First failure to see any satellites The Starlink 7 objects were to pass by Castor and Pollux around 3:17 UT (plus or minus) on 7 June 2020 (9:17 PM MDT on 6 June 2020). Azimuth around 293 degrees, elevation 22 degrees and sun about nine degrees below the horizon. I could see a magnitude 4.2 star in 7X50 binoculars and satellites that bright or better would have been seen but I did not see any. I would guess that they were magnitude 5.5 or fainter. 2) Second failure to see any satellites West to north-northeast pass, 13 degree maximum elevation. Around 3:24-3:28 UT on 8 June 2020 (9:24 PM MDT, 7 June 2020) My observing star was Menkalnan Auriga. RA - 6:01 (hour:min), Dec - 44:57 (deg:min). Azimuth 318, elevation 13. Sun -10.8. I could see adequately a nearby 4.3 magnitude star so again am assuming that the Starlink objects were around magnitude 5.5 or less. Falcon, CO observing site. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun Jun 07 2020 - 23:18:45 UTC
