This definitely wasn't ruined (it's amateur video) but if anyone wants to see Starlink photobombing an astronomer, this amateur video of a recent meteor shower is an example:

(an astronomer friend thought I'd be able to identify the satellite amongst all the meteors, which was sweet... I think it's a bit after the 2 minute mark)
- ricardobeat 7y agoIs it the one making a line starting from the bottom left corner, or the thing that makes a very short bright streak at 2:08?
- justin66 7y agoI assume it's the brightest one, yeah.
- woliveirajr 7y agoAside note: I didn't imagine one could see / film that much meteors during the night in some city. If I remember correctly, I saw 2 or 3 my whole life, and was driving at some road.
- justin66 7y agoI know you can see the Leonids in San Francisco, at least if you're not standing directly under a streetlight. Some years are brighter than others. A lot of it is making note of when to go outside and look.
