Do you now Heavens-above? They tell you what's overhead for your location:

I was using this: https://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=starlink#TOP
to get rough times then Stellarium to get a better visualisation of where they'd be arriving.
That heavens above site is pretty handy, might just use that in future!

I'm guessing with the lack of chat everyone's viewing was as lacklustre as mine?
Where I live is quite prone to sudden cloud/fog cover which appeared just in time for the main window (around 22:30) and shifted around a bit until 22:45. Managed to spot a few of them, but none in close proximity to each other and most that I did see were quite faint. Quite interesting how many non-Starlink satellites are visible too. Had a pair of crossover sightings with Starlinks going West-East and other satellites crossing paths North-South.
Looking forward to when it's a bit warmer after dark and can just relax in the garden and watch the stars!
