What’s the angular size of one?
My best close up photo of a Starlink satellite from this evening (19th April) - and in general.
This is what they look like from ground on Low Earth Orbit. No doubt the solar panels reflecting lots of light.

Good question. Not too long ago I made a comparison using the original frames. ISS vs. Starlink sat vs Cosmos 1300 sathttps://twitter.com/metrolinaszabi/status/1249640930086395904?s=19 …
These are raw frames right after imaging, which meant to show you the relative size of the ISS, a Starlink and a Cosmos satellite during imaging. Their range varies of course, but this way you can imagine roughly how large they appear on camera sensor. Difficult targets

Which of the two items is the Starlink and what is the other thing?

Interesting to compare your first images from a different angle with these (I guess they are taken near zenith?) Those from your first session seem to show brighter bus and dimmer panels. In zenith the panels dominate in brightness. So it seems useful to shoot also lower passes.

I watched that pass also, well south of zenith, and some of the spacecraft were very bright, Mag 0. The orientation of the panel looks critical. The roll-angles of each spacecraft (around the velocity vector) are probably not all the same, so area presented is different.
