Description

I think it is important that we try to raise awareness about the devastating impact of countless satellites orbiting our planet. Astrophotographers often say 'It's okay, you can calibrate it out in PixInsight'. But that is not the point. These satellite trails are increasingly disruptive. Editing them out often comes at a price of reduced SNR.

Most of us are in favour of science, technology, space exploration, inexpensive and fast internet for all and more innovations. But is there a solid mandate for all these satellites thrown in the space?
