SpaceX satellite trails - Is this the end of our hobby?

[SB (Chris)]

The other night I was getting 10% of subs with satellite trails while shooting M43. Given this is just the beginning of the deployment of thousands more satellites does anyone know the best way to remove trails while stacking?

I’m using an Esprit 100 with OSC APS-C sensor.

As the trails are not in the same spot the more subs you stack the more trails will be rejected. Dithering a little will help too. Anyway satellite trails are only a problem when the sats pick up sunlight so you should have some "quiet" time in the middle of the night.

Multiple satellite trails will reduce SNR to some degree, but whether it will be a measurable loss of SNR, that depends on a number of factors and remains to be seen.
