I just watched a nice procession of Starlink 2 satellites rising in the southwest just south of Venus and rising towards Pegasus. Most of the ones I saw got to about 3rd magnitude when about ten degrees above Venus until they entered Earth's shadow. I saw at least 20 but probably missed as many because I was looking north of Venus and not south as I should have. I was scanning with binoculars and eventually saw them easily visually between binocular scans. The pass was around 650 PM local (MST....UT-7) on 14 January 2020 or 150 UT on 15 January 2020. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Tue Jan 14 2020 - 20:24:39 UTC
