I'll have a look for them tonight Lex. My son saw them on Sunday night.

I saw them for the first time on Sunday 19th. I managed to see about 37 of them and wondered what it was until I saw the news articles on the Elon Musk SpaceX satellite train.
21st April Starlink-5,6 should be visible at 10.34pm.
22nd April Starlink-3 will be visible at 4.04am then at 9.34pm.
23rd April Starlink 3 will be visible at 3.06am & 4.39am. At 10.10pm Starlink-5,6 will be visible.
24th April Starlink 3 will be visible at 3.41am.
I was going to have a look last night, but ended up falling asleep.
If I was younger and still interested I'd likely make the effort. As it is, my bed beckons and once asleep, that's it: unless the cat or dog decide to wake me. - Which the flipping dog has the last couple of mornings at about 5:30.
And I can tell you, it's no fun waiting stark naked in the early morning chill, while she does her business. She then beats me back upstairs and grabs the biggest part of the bed, getting very grumpy when I try to move her over. It's like being married!
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
I kept watch for the 10:34pm Starlink but never saw it this time which is odd. Maybe another night I will see them.
Here is a guide if anyone wants to keep watch.
I did see quite a bit of satellite activity last night, only 3 that were following the same trajectory, and others going different flight paths. In all , I counted 10. My watch was from 10 O'clock till around 10:45, then the sky got a bit hazy.
And no.....I'm not an anorak, just taking an interest in what's going on around me.

One thing I've been noticing lately is the lovely clear blue sky, no chem trails streaks like we used to get.
