Well I'm only 12 months into visual astronomy and I don't recall a single session where I did not have a satellite cross my FOV. I'd conservatively estimate about 3-4 per hour. They don't bother me and I haven't seen a "train" of them. IIRC there's currently about 3600 of them. But with another 12000 planned they will probably prove a distraction.
Together with other operators entering the "space" (Sorry
) I can imagine this thing becoming a massive issue for photography.
