Details:
Couldn't get to sleep last night and the swarm overhead pass was coming up in ~15min so I got up, went out, set up the cameras and tried to photograph the SpaceX Starlink swarm again. I saw what I thought was only "1" moving across the sky and was pondering what you call a swarm of "1". I was kinda disappointed.. But, this time, I used a delayed shutter so the photo's are more stable and cranked up the ISO to get more sensitivity (6sec, f2.8, Iso6400,70mm). When I looked at the photo's on a large computer screen I noticed that I had actually captured 8-9 satellites of the swarm in the image. I was pleasantly surprised. These were taking from my driveway which is terrible for dark skies due to the street lamp just across the road :( .These have been processed to intensify the satellite trails.
