“a bright visitor passing through the inner Solar System. Now, the orbiting satellites themselves only appear as streaks because of the long camera exposure, over 10 minutes in this case. On the contrary, to the eye, satellites appear as points that drift slowly across the night sky and shine by reflecting sunlight – primarily just after sunset and before sunrise. The featured image was taken just before sunrise two weeks ago from Bavaria, Germany.”
I guess the only ways to access the natural sky is to leave the atmosphere or to use AI to remove the trails.
It is trivial to filter out satellites from night sky photography. We don’t need AI. It’s been like this for decades.
it doesn’t seem so trivial for the bullshit trashpile of starlink satellites. either way there’s no reason for those to be allowed to exist other than corruption.
Feeling like it isn’t trivial doesn’t change the facts. Does it make data less good? For sure. It’s more noise that gets collected instead of signal. But it’s not hard to remove it.
