Magnitude is an estimate (lower = brighter; 3 is easy, 5 needs a dark sky). Predictions for satellites that are still raising their orbits can shift by a few minutes from one update to the next; check again before you go out. How we compute this.
Seeing Starlink from Raipur
Raipur is at 21.2°N. Tonight the sky is dark enough from 6:09 pm until 5:34 am. A Starlink satellite only shows when it is still in sunlight while you are in darkness, so the passes bunch up in the first hours after dusk and the last hours before dawn, not around midnight.
Over the next 8 nights we found 16 visible passes (16 in the evening, 0 before dawn); 11 of them should be easy to spot (estimated magnitude 4 or brighter).
The best one is on Saturday 10 Oct at 6:17 pm: it appears in the west-southwest, climbs to 78° in the north and fades in the east-northeast at about magnitude 2.5.
The passes come from these launches:
2026-225, launched 28 September 2026 (train, 26 satellites, now 296–315 km up): 16 passes here
Satellites from launch 2026-219 (20 September 2026) are also low and bright, but they do not pass over Raipur while it is dark and they are sunlit in this period.
Questions
Can I see Starlink tonight in Raipur?
No visible passes tonight. Next good chance: Thursday 8 Oct at 6:07 pm, looking southeast.
When is the next Starlink train over Raipur?
Thursday 8 Oct at 6:07 pm: 20 satellites from launch 2026-225, appearing in the southeast and reaching 25°.
Which direction should I look for Starlink from Raipur?
This week most passes appear in the west-northwest or west-southwest. Each pass above lists where it appears, how high it climbs and where it fades.
