Clouds parted just in time to observe Astra group 19 east entering shadow.
There's a noticeable difference in magnitude between the seven birds ... 1B 
is well out to the east.

The file is about 700 kb.
When Windows viewer opens , set play speed to slow to see the sequence the 
satellites entered shadow.
Times are GPS synchronised......location 53.23.15 N 03.05.30 W

Needless to say , the cloud returned shortly after , consequently the birds 
were not observed coming out of eclipse .
