Paul, From the time and location, and hence the Sun azimuth, the panels would have been facing almost straight down (elevation -74 deg and to the southeast) and thus you would have seen their full face. Hence the brightnesses observed. regards Richard Cole On 15/06/2020 12:02, PAUL MALEY via Seesat-l wrote: > At 1106UT the entire train flew directly overhead but I intercepted high in the southwest. I have uploaded video as they passed by Altair (magnitude 0.8) and you first can see 3 very faint objects leading the pack; the first one at 110554 (upper left part of screen). The rest were naked eye +1 to 0 magnitude visually and the last object was seen at 110643. They are definitely spreading out but the sight was the best I have ever seen in a dark sky spread across perhaps 40 degrees. > See: https://youtu.be/fbAtFMkBHVI where Altair is the bright object in the left of the screen > Paul > > > > Paul D.
