Details:
High resolution images of Starlink visor satellites in parking orbit and operational orbit, showing the effect of the visors on the satellite bus. L-18 satellite in parking orbit in brightness minimized comfiguration (usually set in this mode a few weeks after launch). L-14 satellite in operational orbit showing the same 'hourglass' shape, caused by the shadow effect of the visors and the sunlit portions of the satellite. Images obtained with a 10 inch telescope in exceptional good seeing conditions.
