The passage of the SpaceX G2-9 Starlink group at about 3:30 am on May 14, 2023, with the satellite chain still bright four days after its May 10 launch from Vandenburgh Air Force Base in California. This is the entire group, though a bright leader satellite did pass by a couple of minutes prior following what looked like the same path. The satellites were predicted to be magntiude 2.3 but appear as bright as first magnitude stars. Polaris is at left and the Summer Triangle stars are at riight. Cassiopeia is at bottom. The glow of morning twilight is beginning to brighten the sky. The satellite train is descending into the northeast after emerging from Earth's shadow high in the west and passing overhead. This is a very noisy image, even after passing it through Adobe AI Denoise and Noise XTerminator, as it was shot at ISO 25, 600 on the Canon R5, necessary to keep the exposure down to 1.3 seconds even at f/2 with the 15mm Laowa lens used. Any longer and the satellites would have streaked together into one solid line. As it is they are just separated here. Shot from home in southern Alberta.
