A simple median filter will take care of it. Have you seen what an unprocessed image from the Hubble Space Telescope looks like? It's riddled with cosmic ray tracks, and they all get filtered out.
- CamperBob2 7y agoThere are any number of ways to correct observations for satellite trails, not the least because their appearance and duration are both transient and 100% predictable in any given field of view, and can be gated out of the exposure series. Cosmic rays don't even give us the latter break. (To be fair, the rabbit hole does go deeper than the usual places where a median filter alone will save you, but the general problem is far from intractable.) But never mind, we've been told that digital imaging is "functionally identical to film," and we're "losing the discussion."
