Worth, I think. He was\na quality guy.\n\nI took my wife out tonight to try to spot the Starlink Satellites tonight.\nOn the way to a poor local Viewing spot here in the city, we realized it was\nnow overcast, and\nafter arriving, we discovered we Could see only a single star in a small\nhole in the hazy clouds at about 69 degrees, the max elevation and about\nRight azimuth in the sky. \nSure enough, we got a show, but completely different from the videos shown\nIn various places on the net, including Spaceweather.com. Thanks to\nN2YO.com for the predix.\n\nWe saw 9 very bright sats fly out of the deeper cloudiness and suddenly\nappear in the \"hole\" near the star, one after another, moving fast.\nMost were spaced 6 or so seconds apart, the latter ones much more, but all\nVery bright, at least first mag or more, And shining through a thin \nhaze before they met the thicker edge of the hole on the other side and\ndisappearing just as suddenly. They traversed the hole in perhaps\n1.5 seconds or so, no more than two.\n\nI wondered if THESE in the group were flaring, and therefore so much\nbrighter. It also appeared that a few\nOf them were not in the same trajectory , but very close to it. I'd read\nthat engines were being fired to raise their Orbits now.\n\nKeith would have enjoyed seeing them. Fair winds...\n\nMy condolences to his family; I know they will miss him.\n\n73,\n\nSteven Bienvenu W5ZA\n\nShreveport, La.\n\n", "attachments": [] }
