This is a normal post Didn't see them
Mind you, I'm in Zone 1, so unless they're first magnitude or brighter I'm going to struggle.

In the middle of a city so unless they are fucking bright, as in going through re-entry, I won't be seeing them here.

At some point, I may be in more nature so I will check then.

Good link though, have a clicky.

This is a normal post All rich people are creepy tbf. At least ones like Musk, Bezos and Bigelow are slightly offsetting their toxic capitalism with technological advancement in a good direction.
Musk is a fucking idiot when it comes to workers rights and generally being a dick, but he was right when he said the field of rocketry has gone backwards since Apollo. We apparently needed a bunch of comic book super-scientists and supervillains competing over rocket size to set us back on course.

This is a normal post I was just about to link this myself
It was a great show last night but it was fairly overcast tonight, I only saw about 3 or 4. If I'm up at 3:30 I'll try again.

This is a normal post Ditto.
Too much atmospheric sludge and light pollution overhead Hove to make out more than four.
There’s another chance at 20:58 tonight.

This is a normal post I did actually go out at 3:30am and caught the last 16 going over.
The last two looked almost like they were flying side by side. On the previous night the last straggler looked like it was going higher and slower. My theory is that the last one in a given line is doing the most extreme manoeuvring.
