Well that was probably the best starlink train so far. Once I noticed the leader, was able to distinguish all 58 in my binoculars. It looked like number 43 was dimmer than the rest, at about magnitude three instead of magnitude one. Then I took the binoculars away from my eyes and was spellbound by that train as it ran directly towards the sunrise, slowly disappearing into the Northeast. On another pass through with binoculars, the one I thought was dimmer was now the same as the others. So, if it was visorsat, it worked well at about azimuth equal 100 but less well as azimuth decreased.
