Second Jupiter of this season

And still not any higher then 16° in the sky. That’s like, behind the trees and the neighbour’s houses. The seeing for this session was worse then the night before. It does not show on the results.

Jupiter on June 2nd, 2.30 MEST / Maksutov 180mm F15, ASI290MM Baader RGB

Starlink, second night: a lot dimmer!

A bit of a re-assurance, these objects now dimmed from 0 to -1 magnitude towards magnitude 4 (estimate). some bits were brighter. Hopelfully that means the impact on the natural sky remains limited. I do fear that all 12000 of these will be a pest for astrophotography, for sure also for professionals!

I actually missed them untill my son detected them as a faint trail east of Bootes (so culmunating).
