  • Astronomer takes 200 2 minute exposures, 1/3 ruined by satellite streak

    A ham radio friend of mine was speaking to the guy (I'm not a radio person) and was told this by an observer who does a lot of imaging from his observatory. So if you thought you could get away with much shorter exposures and less work for an image
    than in the film days, that was also when satellites numbered in the hundreds and not thousands.

    Then the imager was profoundly incompetent, because satellites NEVER
    ruin subexposures. Every subexposure will always contain unusable
    pixels- airplanes, satellites, cosmic ray hits. And it doesn't matter
    in the least, because those all disappear once the images are stacked.
    With no manual intervention at all.

    This ham radio person is known to be a cheap-ass prick cocksucker shithead�
    who jerks off uncontrollably over pretty picture astro photography
    horseshit� imaging from his observatory!!!!!!
