The newer Starlink satellites have a sun shield. That should, in theory, make them impervious to observations.

  Where "impervious" means you can't see through the the sun shield either.

    At their size (10m x 2.8m), it probably won't even measure a full pixel.

    That's much less of a problem. A bright point in the sky will bloom in the optics and blot out a larger space than it occupies. A dark spot doesn't.
