Starlink satellites

Following a very bright pass of the Starlink satellites on Sunday 19th April that got everyone talking, I thought I’d set up the DSLR to take a hi-res timelapse of the satellite train… Unfortunately due to cloud cover or just being later in the evening, the satellites weren’t seen in the numbers that had been expected.

Here’s the video from the first part of the night – starts at about 21:00 hours and runs for a couple of hours. The photos are 30 second exposures, taken every thirty seconds, replayed at 2 frames per second.

After the cloud rolled in around midnight, I left the camera running through the night and retired to bed. The timelapse caught several of the Lyrid meteors, as well as the Starlink train at about 03:30.
