By chance, I recorded a very blue trail on my all-sky camera at 17:30UT
this morning. As it got low towards the SE horizon, the trail became
more orange. Fits perfectly with the Heavens Above map for the Starlink
G7-8 train at this time. Sats were separated by only 2secs (first to
last) at the time.

Steve Lee, who lives close by, confirms the colour ("Wow! That is
blue!") on his all-sky camera. We have both occasionally noted that some
satellite trails are quite obviously blue. I believe this has been
discussed here a few times.

Cheers, Rob
