    The new satellites have an anti reflective coating which is a good thing for astronomy.They are only half as bright now as they were and the best view is in the first few days after launch when they are still low.
    The pass last night was 2 weeks old so too late to see anything spectacular or anything at all
    When do any of the databases usually start showing the pass data for recent launches? The L28 table for last nights launch is blank on heavens above.
    Because the Flight no. and Mission no. (L) are different makes finding information confusing as different sites refer to different numbers.

    Heavens-above is the best site for info.last nights launch is blank on the site because it is not passing ireland at night.25th june is the next pass at night.
    This link shows all the starlink sats and if you selects L28 from the drop down menu you can see its orbit

    Ah ok, thats makes more sense, thanks.

    I had looked at the 3D display earlier but there was just a place holder for L28. It looks like it has updated now with the individual satellite numbers and IDs.
