I can't see predictions for the starlink satellites. Are these going to be shown?
They're visible from my location tonight at 23:27 but they don't display on SFpro6. I have the latest object data installed.

Kai ..?

Pedro Braganca Starlink satellites are now available! Please download the latest data by going to Settings-Solar System - then scroll to bottom and tap "Update Minor Body Data".

Bill Tschumy I believe they are currently in SkySafari. Their official designation is: 2019-029XX (Where XX goes from A to BR).
I did a search on "2019-029" and it found 64 objects. You can turn the search results into an observing list and highlight it to see just these sats.

Matt Braithwaite This didn't work for me, how would I check I have the latest object database please?

Arthur Fentaman I have just searched for 2019-029 and it brought up 3satellites.

Bill Tschumy I just verified this in SS5 & SS6 (both Plus and Pro) and they have all the Starlink sats. You might need to update your minor body orbit data by tapping the button at the bottom on the Solar System settings.

Matt Braithwaite That's got it Bill, thankyou so much

Zoltán Belső I've searched for 2019-029, the answer is: "No objects found matching search string". I've updated the minor body orbit data, but the situation is the same.

Bill Tschumy Zoltan,
It is not immediately clear what is going on. It seems the satellites have been given new official designations such as STARLINK A, STARLINK B, etc. However, it appears they are no longer on the lists we pull from CelesTrak.com. We will have to dig into what is happening.
