Image Details:

On the evenings of October 8, 9 and 10 I observed Starlink-G6-21 satellites from Yuzhno-Morskoy (near Nakhodka), Primorsky Krai.

I will describe the last observation in detail: I saw them (and photographed) from 10:06 to 10:13 UT, even at the horizon they had a brightness slightly fainter than Arcturus and their color was visually yellow. When they were higher, their color was white with a slight hint of blue, and at the zenith they entered the shadow of the Earth.

I made a video (Canon EOS 60D, 132 images with ISO-6400, f/3.5, 18mm, 2 sec.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJ1-6zwZcI
