Details:
I’ve been waiting for the International Space Station which was due between 3:23-3:30am UT. I knew some Starlink satellites will be visible before ISS. I was ready with my setup, so when I spotted one I started shooting a 28 seconds long high frame rate video (just like I do ISS photography).
This satellite has been launched quite a while ago, it is at its final position (altitude and plane). One of the animations shows the altitude of the satellite varies between 550-565km. In theory this shouldn’t be this bright, but it was a naked eye object even from London! My first direct proof of the a Starlink satellite being at its final position being incredibly bright, easily visual magnitude +1/+2.
