- dodobirdlord 7y agoAstronomy telescopes are pretty different from the sorts of optical sensors used to take pictures of people. Through amplification they can detect very small numbers of photons. The error margin of trying to exclude something like a bright satellite in the field of view is going to be significantly larger than the detection threshold.
- malandrew 7y agoI imagine that the bright objects also make it difficult to see less bright objects so it's not just a matter of removing the brighter objects.
- downrightmike 7y agoI see that, but we'll know exactly where the satellites are in the part of the sky we're watching. It should be possible to remove them automatically.
