Just seen the most amazing site! a "chain" of dozens of satellites passing overhead - thought I was going nuts at first (no surprise to many!) so had to get swmbo out to confirm that it wasn't an effect of the 2nd G&T consumed earlier - she saw them too (although admittedly she had also had 2 G&T's)! A bit of research on line and they were probably a recent launch by Spacex of the latest batch of Starlink satellites that are supposed to provide internet to all - in the short time I watched them till the string of satellites passed, I must have seen at least 40 of them following each other about 20 degrees apart - I understand there were many more before i spotted them.

Astonishing to watch, but now I understand what the astronomers around the world are upset about - really upsets observations and astrophotography!

Anyone else out there that saw them?
