Details:
My last opportunity to image Starlink satellites right after deployment was back in April 2020.
SpaceX has been using different mission profiles, which meant the deployment happened a little over an hour after launch - not favourable to us in Europe.
I had luck with perfectly clear sky! Successfully gathered enough good frames to create an animation. It shows the pack of 53 satellites and the Falcon-9 rocket upper stage still closely together.
You might see other objects flying with the pack, those suppose to be tension rods holding the satellites together until deployment.
