Details:
Watched a pass of the group of 58 Starlinks launched two days ago. As predicted they were about 2nd magnitude, racing pretty quickly across the sky in one long line of dots. Just before reaching the northeast horizon each one flared to about 0 magnitude, faded briefly, then flared again to 1st magnitude before disappearing. I hope they get a lot dimmer in a few days. This shot is a 30-second exposure of the train passing through Draco with a 70mm lens on a Canon 80D.
