 I made a similar observation from Saarbrücken-Bischmisheim
(Germany) with the naked eye and 7×50 binoculars. However,
here the satellites reached only about 37° elevation (in the SSE)
(the Sun was 13° below my horizon on March 25 at 04:09 UTC).
 
Chris, it would be very nice if you could add to Heavens-Above
some features from now defunct CalSky -- like pass predictions
for satellites in (very) low orbits (especially objects shortly before
decay).
 
Regards,
Patrick

 Hi all,

I had a very nice pass of the objects from yesterday's Starlink L22 launch
over Munich this morning at 4:08 UTC. The train of objects reached 76°
elevation and they were easily visible to the unaided eye, despite early
twilight (Sun elev. -10°).

 

They were still close together and spanned an arc of approximately 10° in
the sky, some objects considerably brighter than others.

 

Chris Peat,
