Description

This cluster of galaxies was surprisingly difficult to image. There were between 1 and 4 satellite trails in almost every frame I took. I had to get enough images that the rejection algorithms could remove the trails, and even then you can see a few remnants of the trails if you look closely. Additionally I could only grab 3 hours a night on this between clouds as we're in monsoon season at the remote site. Overall I had to reject a ton of frames with light clouds that impacted the final image quality.

Description: I count five satellite trails in this one image. One even appears to be rotating causing flaring.
