Image Details:

My friend and I were in the front of my house, Safford, AZ, southeastern part of the state, imaging through our telescopes. I happened to look up to the northeast and saw what looked like a satellite flaring by Capella. I realized, after seeing one after another flaring, I quickly went around back with camera and tripod and took 2 quick pictures. It was about 9 pm, and it was, while a nuisance for astronomy, still an amazing thing to see this train of starlink satellites and flaring right by Capella.
