Can I see Starlink tonight in Manurewa?
No visible passes tonight.
None of the recently launched satellites passes over Manurewa in darkness in the next 7 nights.
Manurewa is part of Auckland (Auckland Council since 2010). Its pass times are the same as Auckland's to within a minute or two, so that page is the main one for the area.

no visible passesMagnitude 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.
The ISS tonight
ISS pass times for Manurewa →Yes — best chance 8:27 pm, looking north. Visible from 8:27 pm to 8:31 pm, halfway up in the sky (26°) at its highest; about magnitude -3, brighter than any star. The space station is far brighter than Starlink satellites, so it is often the easier thing to spot.
Tiangong, China's space station
4 visible passes in 8 nightsYes · 8:41 pm, look west. Tiangong orbits about 386 km up, tilted 41.5° to the equator. It looks like a bright, steady star gliding across the sky, fainter than the ISS but easy to see without a telescope.

Local time. Brightness is a rough estimate (±1 magnitude; lower is brighter). How we compute this.
Seeing Starlink from Manurewa
Manurewa is at 37.0°S. Tonight the sky is dark enough from 7:57 pm until 6:19 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 none of the recently launched satellites passes over in darkness.
Satellites from launch 2026-225 (28 September 2026) are also low and bright, but they do not pass over Manurewa while it is dark and they are sunlit in this period.
No train is visible this week. A train is only a train for about the first 10 days after a launch; here is why some weeks have nothing.
