Photographers complain about SpaceX satellites destroying comet Neowise photos – Science – Apollo.lv – iTech

It is still visible above the horizon in the Latvian sky, a comet with the naked eye looks dull and tiny. However, it is very clear through the camera’s telescopic lens. Typically, when photographers try to capture this type of subject in the night sky, they use long exposure times, leaving the camera lens aperture open for several seconds, allowing more light to enter. However, now comet captors complain that the new Starlink satellite army leaves a bright “smear” on the comet’s photos.
