Can't this be removed in software? I'm not a photography expert, but it seems like the satellites are predictable in intensity and position. I assume you could analyze a long exposure or individual frames of it and pick out and remove the satellites pretty easily.
The tweeter also complains about the high price of space based telescopes, but neglects that starlink funds (or will fund) Space X which may substantially reduce the cost of putting up big space telescopes in the future.
- ortusdux 5y agoThe standard technique is called stacking, wherein you take many images and combine them to reduce noise. There is a fair amount of software out there that makes it pretty easy. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/astrophotography/astrophoto-tips/a-guide-to-astrophotography-stacking/ https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/astrophotography/astropho... https://dopeguides.com/astrophotography-stacking-software/ https://dopeguides.com/astrophotography-stacking-software/
- danaris 5y agoIf what you want is a pretty picture, sure. If what you want is an accurate view of the sky, then no: once you've taken the picture with the satellite in it, any technique that removes the satellite cannot add back in what it obscured by taking up space in the picture. Image editing cannot make this better for science, only for art.
