starlink......

So I read I could see the Starlink satellites this morning  so I hopped out of bed in the time recommended...... Layed up..... Felt/heard the crunch of the frosty grass under my shoes and went out the back of the yard where I could see the sky better...... Looking around wondering if I would see anything given we have such a bright moon setting........(just looked up it is a full moon)....... Anyway I looked up again and there they were.... Right in the suggested time (5.36-5.44AM)...... No way you could miss seeing them.......I wonder what they would look like on a dark night.........I think I counted 46.........While they are no good for astronomy and more junk eventually in the sky I did think they were extremely cool to see.......
Even better they turned out in the pic..... Have you seen them?
Friday 5.55am they suggested I might just go out again to see them again........
Catch you later.....

My daughter uses Starlink as she has basically very poor communication where she is. I had no idea they were multiple satellites. I just googled Starlink and found all sorts of interesting things.

Fabulous - your photo turned out brilliantly - I thought it wouldnt be as clear in the photo - well worth the loss of sleep and the chill of the morning air. A magical experience - well done..xx
