Description

NGC 5566 where Starlink lives
I started this one late April and was totally shocked as literally every single frame had satellite trails in a very defined area.
I stopped the whole thing and resumed a few weeks later, still the same, I learned that they launched a bunch of satellites in March to cover the area where my observatory is.
Here is a picture of the stacked luminance without rejection

Anyway rejection did a pretty good job, only if you look very carefully one can see the residual trails.
LRGB 180 60 60 60 min.
Hope you like it
Wolfgang
