Details:
Another chance to observe a Starlink train signal. This time it was the first half of the fourth train, recently launched into space.
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. The group is still compact, and with the help of the Celestrak service (4th image) I was able to count up to 36 satellites all clustered together!
