Details:
Starlink L27 parking orbit observations showing some of the satellites 3 days after launch, were the solar panel is in open book configuration and the satellites are still visible easily naked eye. Within 1 month, suddenly they become invisible for the naked eye and these images show how SpaceX changed the configuration of the satellites by setting the solar panel close to edge on to the observer. All images are taken secondary focus using a 10 inch telescope by fully manually tracking the satellites.
