Details:
The clearest Starlink train signal to date for my meteor detector station in Stornoway, Scotland. My equipment is tuned on the Graves Radar frequency, which originates from France, ~1500km SE of my position. It is the best option to capture meteor echoes from Europe, but sometimes satellites in the right position and orbit (like the ISS) can be easily seen too!
The first image shows just the raw signal captured by the equipment, while the second and third are b/w and b/w inverted elaborations to better show the satellites oblique intermittent trails.
To make a comparison, the first and last echoes in the waterfall images are meteors, while the rest are all Starlink satellites.
