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.
