avoid, you'd be amazed at how many of my time exposures of the night sky have been ruined by satellight pollution. (I want credit for that phrase if it catches on!!) So as the sats increase in number, there will be more ruined photos. The sats show up like a long line in a 30 second exposure.
No big deal for me -- I am just an amateur. It might be a problem for the pros, though.
Dan ... an interesting discussion thread!
I have a couple of comments, the first one being a serious one:
1. What kind of camera and lens combination would it take to be able to view/capture the night sky like the human eye/brain combination can do it? i.e. Instantaneously - with long time exposures to capture light from images not required? Is image capture technology capable yet of duplicating the human eye in this respect? :h
2. A lot of satellites up there just might help with Global Warming ... doesn't each one keep a bit ot the sun's energy from reaching the earth? :B
