This image shows the maximum pixel value of 18 individual exposures of 10 seconds each, taken at 1 minute intervals. Each individual image exposure contains a #Starlink satellite; they just happened to be separated in time by roughly a minute. Predicted positions are overlaid.

The exposures were taken between 17:28:25UTC to 17:45:25UTC from the Netherlands.
#Starlink satellite 44928 was first to appear, and each next satellite was slightly higher in elevation as the orbital plane rose in the sky with time. Elevation runs vertically in this image.Prikaži ovu nit -
The satellites at higher elevation are also closer: 1519 km for the first (object 44928) to 1276 km for the last (44925).
#DarkSat, which is supposed to be object 44932 was at a distance of 1478 km. Hence, the higher satellites are brighter because they are closer.Prikaži ovu nit -
It appears
#DarkSat was about as bright, maybe slightly fainter, than the other satellites at comparable distances (44915 and 44928). Assuming that the satellite orientation is the same for all satellites, is the coating not working?Prikaži ovu nit -
I'm using the
@spacetrackorg orbital elements, but they, as well as the elements from@TSKelso's http://Celestrak.com , identify Starlink-1130 as object 44932; Starlink-1130 is supposed to be#DarkSat. Has that recently changed? Pinging@SpaceX,@TSKelso.@planet4589. n/nPrikaži ovu nit

I made a recording from southwest germany. I could only count 59 objects, No. 60 seems to be dark or missing. Would you be interested in the single frames of this for further analysis?https://twitter.com/Locastan_modder/status/1219191238034907136 …

Yes, I'd be interested to have a look.

Thank you for capturing this! I hope you can repeat this once the orbits are raised and solar arrays get reoriented.

That's certainly my plan! Let's hope for good weather in the coming weeks.
