Last launch produced the best observation I’ve seen, with unusually bright (Magnitude 2.0), high in the sky (40 degrees or so) and long duration (5-6 minutes). Most of the time they twinkle in and out. This last was a continuous string of 8 or 10 and pretty spectacular.

Here’s the site I use to track.
