Details:
Close-up of a part of the two lanes of 60 Starlink-6 satellites, just after they were released and still very close together. Captured from Europe in the first orbit after launch. We even can see the 'flat plate' design shapes of the individual Starlinks. Some of the satellites are flaring because they have a different attitude, see the marked example. Taken with a 10 inch Newtonian and an ALccd 5L-11 mono CMOS camera in secondary focus.
