The pathetic response of governments to allow the unfettered use of LEO space by corporations is reprehensible.
Literally thousands of objects are being put into orbit for one reason...read $$$$

I re-stacked my recent comet Atlas data, acquired over just a few minutes
to graphically illustrate how prolific dumping of cheap satellites into orbit has become....

I think theses trails should be known hence forth as "Musk Droppings"
....BTW the Deers are blameless.

They do ruin a stunning image and I think Musk droppings is an appropriate naming convention.

I thought you were checking for orthogonality

We all have to suffer due to arrogance and greed of some entrepreneurs who think they're doing the world a favour. It's almost impossible to take an image in the 1 to 2 hrs after sunset or before sunrise, without getting the telltale trails of Musk Droppings.
Had the trails all over images of Pons Brookes back in April and some in images of Tsuchinshan / Atlas recently.

Spread the word!

No more Musk droppings!!

The irony is the Musk Deer was almost hunted to extinction and is now a
protected species.

The Emler Fudd's of the USA need to be told it's Elon season ;)
