Well what a pile of!!....
15 in 3hr, decided to have my first double espresso in a year at about midnight to stay awake, that was a stupid idea, I'm absolutely wired!
Cannot believe how many satellite are bombing about though, spotted hundreds

Saw a few last night , am currently in Newfoundland and will check again later on . Wildfire smoke might hinder that plan

Just spotted a couple whilst out walking the dogs in a local park around 10.30.

Think the moon was still too bright in the sky which didn't help things.

Total cloudcover.

I saw one extremely bright one. Wondered what it was then remembered what time of year it is.

I saw this in a remote part of Southern Italy once, spectacular.

Too much cloud cover down south. In any case, we also have an almost full moon in the night sky so the more frequent smaller meteors are drowned out by moonlight. Not great observing conditions.

I managed to see a handful before cloud cover rolled in

It's amazing isn't it? I assume they're all starlink, just about visible via the eye

Lovely clear night in North Yorks & saw a few including a blueish one.
Had a big surprise when a train of Starlink satellites headed due south - had no idea they did that!
Same satellites back again tonight so will be prepared!
