I also saw maybe half a dozen very bright Starlink flares last night (Sunday May 3rd 2020) from Tempe, AZ, US (33.393671, -111.926244) at around 0330Z. They passed between Venus and Capella and some appeared to exceed Venus' brightness. I think I've found which ones from Celestrak, maybe STARLINK-1127, STARLINK-1193, STARLINK-1194 (there are a number of others in that train they could have been). Screenshot from celestrak available in the link below: https://imgur.com/a/kf3dqTX These were really remarkably bright, I am not a well trained observer, but at least one of them seemed far brighter than Venus. - Austin On Sat, May 2, 2020 at 7:54 PM Kevin Fetter via Seesat-l < seesat-l_at_satobs.org> wrote: > On May 1, around 13:13:19 utc, starlink 1-80 ( 44282 ) flared to negative > range.
