Hello, amatuer and newcomer here, wanting to get some clarity on what I saw on Sunday night.

I've seen Starlink satellites before but on Sunday night I saw a dispersed chain, with maybe 3 or 4 in one field of view.

At the last satellite was another object, of similar brightness but orange, and moving at a trajectory of maybe 10-20 degrees away from the line of travel of the satellites. It was travelling slower and faded as did the rest as the passed east away from the sunset (this was roughly 2-3 hours after sunset).

I've never seen an orange object in orbit, so I'm wondering if this was the deployment craft/rig, or the rocket booster? Was the orange an afterglow? Any knowledgable intepretation or educated guesswork about this sighting would be most welcome!
