Description

Small stack of 5, including last sub with satellite, before choosing another target. As seen with ASIair's overlay (since I only saved this screen shot).

Don't know for sure if it's StarLink, but given how close and bright it is, it seems likely. Note that two trails can be made out (the width of both solar panels). And it's rotating to distribute heat as the light trails converge twice...once on the left and again on the right. I suppose it could be ISS. Given the Celestial Equator orbit, I doubt it. I should look at historical data to be sure.
