(1/2) Saw the @SpaceX #Starlink satellite 'train' pass again, now well spread-out. Most faint (binoculars), a number however naked eye. Around 21:55 UT, some 9 mins after main front group passed, several in succession briefly flared to +2 (easy naked eye) in the same sky area.

(2/2) That successive flaring, the one after the other with a few seconds spacing, of the #Starlink satellites in the middle of the stretched train was a very fine sight. I captured some of it on photograph.

Two photographs showing SpaceX #Starlink satellites briefly flaring in the same sky area, around 21:55 UT (May 28). Taken from Leiden, the Netherlands, with a Canon EOS 60D + SamYang 1.4/85 mm, 1 second exposures at 1600 ISO.
Stars are from Corona Borealis.

4/4
The flaring occurs roughly in the point in the sky trajectory where their azimuth is opposite that of the sun.

5/n
I also shot video and note that some of the #Starlink objects appear much brighter than others, even if they are close together. The brighter ones all briefly flare, near the same point in the sky.
This is different from May 24th when they were all bright, for a prologed time

I also noted a couple that are regularly flashing - indicating tumbling.

Note that at least some of these tumbling pieces are not satellites but support rods that held the satellite stack together untill deployment , of which four have been catalogued.
