Starlink sat train transits the moon

I was actually photobombed by Starlink while targeting the moon. Astronomers have a great disdain for the extra sky pollution but in this case, I didn't mind. This sat train from a recent launch, appeared at dusk and will spread out.

Video of the transit showing over 50 Starlinks in a train formation passing the moon, and the tail end of the train transiting: https://youtu.be/oG9tvYCc6rk.

That’s super cool Dennis. I wonder if with the right planning / exposure settings any detail of the satellites could be captured:question:
