Telescope images are usually long exposures so that won't work. AFAIK there's no method of selectively dumping or damping the pixels only ass the Starlink satellites pass through the frame.
To do it you'd need a screen in front of the sensor that could occlude the pixels that the Starlink sats were passing over..
- skybrian 7y agoIf you're doing image stacking, could you dump some frames that were ruined? It would take a bit longer to collect enough frames.
- petschge 7y agoDuring twilight our section of EVERY frame would be ruined. Massively reducing the useful observation time during twilight. And keep in might that some sources are only visible to some telescopes during those hours. And we have neither the money to build arbitrarily many new telescope, nor the suitable locations with good conditions.
- tropo 7y agoAstronomers do put a screen in front of the sensor to occlude pixels. This is to block the light of natural space objects that get troublesome.
