Starlink Sighting tonight and tomorrow

Managed to see a few of them. The sky was still pretty light and there were some wispy clouds obscuring things so the satellites were pretty faint.
 
I very briefly saw a couple brightly reflect but the moon was so bright and it was still close to sunset it made it difficult. I had more fun looking at rocket parts floating around in space.
 
I was out looking at the sky to the north a week or so ago and saw clusters of satellites instead of a string . there were about 10 of them going to the east. are these starlinks or something else because there was definitely not a line of them.

Caught them last night. Line of about 10 spaced quite a distance apart. Not really bright, but enough out here in the sticks to see them, even with a bright moon.

Very cool, thanks for pointing this out!
 
They set the launch date of May 27 for the SpaceX/ NASA manned mission to the the ISS. Go SpaceX!

Apparently, its been 9 years since Americans have traveled on American launch vehicle.

If you don't have the Sky Guide app by Fifth Star Labs your missing out! It's only $3.00 and super cool.
Cosmos 1703 traveling NE just dipped below the horizon. (That was the first one I picked up cause that was the direction the phone was pointed.)

Thanks, going to look tonight.
 
One trip launches 60 satellites?? Guess that clues us in to how much shit is up there.
