Starlink-Satellite-Train very bright over my hometown - 2020-01-21

Testing my new Setup with WATEC-902H and modified Panasonic lens WV-LA4510 4.5mm 1:1.0.
Second attempt to catch the Starlink Train, and first time to see them with my own eyes. 

And i was shocked about how bright that small objects can be! 



The satellites passed the star "Sheat" inside the constellation Pegasus , the brightness of Sheat fluctuates between +2.31 and +2.74 mag.
The satellites were therefore fairly easy to spot with the naked eye and they flew lined up like a string of pearls - quite penetrative and eye-catching.

And should a lot more of these things be shot up so that people have internet in every corner of the world?
At the beginning I found the idea of private space travel (and so on) exciting and the ideas of Mr. Musk interesting and groundbreaking.
With this action, he no longer gives me pleasure. That only testifies to greed for profit at the expense of all mankind.
However, it is not only he who thinks so ... And nobody cares.
