You ignore the entirety of the LSST which will take more image data in its first year than all of humanity.
It is wide field, and these constellations cannot just be stacked out.
You think you are more informed than you are.
- fecal_henge 2y agoWhy is stacking not possible in this case?
- sitkack 2y agoThe objects are so bright and so numerous that they corrupt an entire imagers data for the entire exposure. In a CCD rows and columns can become saturated and hot pixels can spill over into neighboring pixels (blooming). When the imagers for the LSST were being designed, it was not anticipated that they would have to deal with tens of thousands of hot fast moving objects. https://www.lsst.org/content/lsst-statement-regarding-increased-deployment-satellite-constellations https://www.lsst.org/content/lsst-statement-regarding-increa...
