Nearly every object in orbit is already tracked and any specific object of interest can be tracked even more precisely, so no need for an additional API. That won't work as they use multiple hour exposures that accumulate the light, you can't "erase" something, as most of the info is already discarded, unless it's a deep stack. You can try recording the video of the same field of view with a smaller auxiliary telescope, accounting for the satellites that crossed the view of the big instrument in the resulting exposure. But that's still artifact-prone, and won't work in many cases (saturated pixels, very faint objects etc). You have to pause the exposure for every satellite that crosses the view, if that's possible at all.
