Starlink 4 Satellite Pass (March 26, 2020).jpg
A pass of the Starlink 4 train of satellites on March 26, 2020. This was the set launched February 17, 2020, not the then latest set of Starlink 5s launched March 18. So more than a month after launch they were still bright, at magnitude +1 or so. But note that at left they are dimming as they enter Earth’s shadow. They paraded across the sky over many minutes, each disappearing to the south. The stars are pinpoints but the satellites are streaks because of their motion over the length of the 13-second exposure.
This view is looking southwest. Sirius is at right; Alphard in Hydra is at upper left.
This is a single 13-second exposure at f/2 with the Sigma 24mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 1600.
