Starlink Tonight

[RobYob]

Tomorrow night is supposed to be peak for the Lyrics meteors? 10:30 the starlink should go right overhead, didn't see anything tonight.

[NotoriousREV]

Today, ok the website says 9:59pm now. Maybe I looked at 19th April but I’m sure it doesn’t show past ones. Maybe I’m going crazy.

I made the same mistake or the website was wrong when I looked earlier.

Peak, yes, but they’re visible from yesterday for the next few days.

Well I’m glad that’s all cleared up.

Quite dark n clear here.

Spotted the ISS when we were waiting for them, then saw 8 in a row. Very difficult to get a steady image with binoculars but that gave a much better view of the movement.

Cool thanks!

And I do mean it, this time.

[Orange Cola]

I saw 25+, but only in a train of 3 at the most with big gaps in-between. Pretty cool, might try and photo them tomorrow.

[mik]

Are you setting an alarm for tomorrow?

[Orange Cola]

Thinking about it I might have to set an alarm for tomorrow, Mik really should be on the case reminding me to do that...

[nuttinnew]

Did you set your alarms? If not, set them for 10:30, there're at it again coming west heading north.

Earlier was epic. I saw a string of around 30, 42 things altogether. Whether or not they were all the same thing I don't know, I'm pretty sure none were meteorites, and the last one went at 90° to the others which seemed odd.

[JonMad]

Or maybe 10:04, apparently. Will pop outside at both times because why not.

Thats what happened to us last nighg before we saw Starlink satellites - have not checked but think it was tbe ISS.

Thanks JonMad, that time didn't show until I refreshed the page.

Happened again a mo ago. I'm sure when I looked on the ISS tracker t'other night after you mentioned it that it won't be visible until the 29th I need to find out more about the meteor shower but nothing I've seen so far has faded out like I'd expect from that. I don't think it was a plane either because I couldn't see any nav lights but if a plane was v.high would you see them with the eye?
Time for the next ones...

“ There is a chance that tonight's 10:34pm/April 21 timing may not be visible (or appear 30 mins before the predicted time, i.e. at 10:04pm). Many reports of failed sightings were received yesterday (April 20). Possible causes: too long after sunset, or satellites being turned by their owner. Still being investigated, sorry! Please try at your own risk. ”

Eh? Fucking Elon musk turning them satellites round to troll us?!

[McSwede]

Couldn't see fuck all at 10.04 or just now

[Mito Man]

Same, I saw a few other random satellites but right now I’m thinking this website is a troll

[nuttinnew]

I didn't see owt at :34 apart from whatever is going SE to NW again. I'll have to find out what it is but I don't know if I cba, I just wanted to go out and look at the pretty lights*, not think about anything. I might not have seen them because there was a cloud/trail going in the same direction they were. It wasn't there 5/10 mins before...

*or sparkly space shite.

[NotoriousREV]

I went out at 10:32 and saw nothing. Came back inside and the app I was using said the pass was now at 10:42, by which time I was having a shit.

[JonMad]

Yep, I reckon it’s all a wind up

Will try again tomorrow night, I expect.
