Southern Cross & Starlink 4
This morning I tried to capture the latest Starlink 4 train of satellites as they passed across the Southern Cross. I didn't quite get my camera set up correctly in time so this was the best I could do - the satellites appear as the smudge of light to the top left. The sky was quite bright as it was only 45 minutes before sunrise.
Seeing this train of lights in tight formation was without doubt the most spectacular phenomenon I have ever witnessed in the night sky, especially since each satellite "flared" brightly in succession as they reflected sunlight off their solar panels - like a series of fireworks going off !
