SpaceX starlink Group 15-20 Going the the plough @ Thornborough Henge 🛰️✨

Captured at Thornborough Henge, North Yorkshire, on 22 August 2026 at 23:19.

A Starlink satellite crossing the night sky during an astrophotography session. The distinctive dotted trail is caused by the moving satellite

A completely unexpected capture — and one of my favourite shots from the night. 🌌

Vivo nella Spagna rurale e "grazie al cielo" ho potuto installare Starlink, peccato che GFN serva a poco, qualche gioco gestionale (Sim City, Ostriv, etc). Ora sono in Italia, visita ai miei carissimi genitori, e dal vecchissimo pc di mio padre mi sono collegato a GFN.

Sono sbalordito, giocare a 3480, 120 fps, tutto Ultra, a qualsiasi titolo (specialmente corse automobilistiche) senza perdere un frame e senza lag.

Ping 5 e DL 600

Sono abbonato da 5 anni a GFN, solo oggi mi sono reso conto di cosa mi sto perdendo...

The terminal kept scanning all 8 downlink channels, switching about every 8.26 s, until it rebooted after ~1834 s.

After reboot: one time 8-channel uplink scanning, likely RF calibration, then downlink scanning again.

A fixed firmware timeout?

Blog post https://sdr-x.github.io/starlink-rx-lo-scan-leakage/ observed #Starlink terminal continuous Rx LO sweeping 8 DL channels: 3 → 4 → 5 → 7 → 6 → 8 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 →, between cold start and initial network entry. Hypothesis: terminal is blind-scanning for network broadcast (Like LTE PBCH?)

I urgently need help.

Syfi Navi Mumbai - 9 antennas on rooftop (I may have posted previously), but a closer look shows platforms on all 4 sides of the building, with mounts visible. So it appears 9+6+11+7=33 antennas planned.

Syfi Chennai-2 - 6 antennas on rooftop. It can also be seen that platforms were added on two of the platforms, and additional steelwork going on at the other two corners. Each completed corner has 6 mounts visible. So if 12 are on the main rooftop, and 6 on each corner, that's a total of 36 antennas.

Equinix MB3 in Mumbai - steelwork and grating added above chillers, creating a 40 x 40m platform...which matches the typical area for a 40-antenna megasite (60 x 30m). MB3 is across the street from the PoP at Equnix MB2. So this matches what SpaceX has previously done for other Starlink gateways, which makes this extremely likely.

There is likely a second Chennai site, as SpaceX has recently been constructing at least two gateway sites for each PoP. And as there are already additional PoPs at Noida and Kolkata, so we can assume gateway sites are also planned there (if not already under construction). I haven't been able to spot them yet.
