Just watched the Astra group ( seven sats at 19 degs east) over a period of three hours or so.It was a race against time as the bright moon was tracking very near to the arc,...and closing in all the time ! Despite this , at around 2220 gmt , managed to see them go into eclipse. By the time they re-emerged , around 2317 , the Moon was just too bright ..... and imaging was brought to an abrupt end . Noticeable during the three hour period was the marked movement by the birds , which appeared to perform an aerial ballet.
