A batch of 29 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
Target orbit: Low Earth Orbit
Visibility from Bermuda is uncertain — we lack a confident trajectory match for this mission.
Face west (258.7758149987145°) and sweep along the trajectory. Start scanning the sky about six minutes after liftoff.
Sweep order (approximate)
You are standing at the amber dot in the middle. The solid cyan arrow is where to aim your eyes — roughly where the rocket will appear highest in the sky. The dotted cyan arc traces the rocket's motion across the sky, with the arrow showing which way it travels.
Lighting note
Daylight viewing is challenging — the plume gets washed out. Look for a bright moving dot against the sky, and use binoculars if you have them.

The rocket rises low in the SW, arcs across the sky toward W, and fades in the WNW when engines cut out. Under clear skies and with minimal light pollution, the rocket plume is typically visible as a slow-moving bright star between these times.
Times assume on-time liftoff. Add ~30–90 sec uncertainty for typical per-mission timing variance; launch delays move the whole window.
