The bulk of the trails are clustered around and parallel to dec -5 30.
The poor rejection algorithm just couldn't deal with the mass of overlapping trails. I managed to clean up the data using PixelMath. I drew lines that covered the trails with a value that rejects out easily (the maximum pixel value). It was a lot of work!
54 subs on NCG2170 and only 5 of them were clear of satellite trails. Most of them had at least half a dozen. Attached pic is the rejection map
Geez how long were your subs.?? Using 10 - 15min subs I generally only have issues with satellites for the first hour or so after astronomical twilight and the last hour or so before...?

Cool composite though

Subs were 10 mins for RGB and 15 mins for Lum, Mike. I've never seen anything like this before. I'll have to do a little research on satellite orbits...

That is nearly incomprehensible in number! I would be more inclined to say that they're really from an alien station and moving in perfectly straight lines across the sky. The mass lines being from consistent return fire from SHIELD
WOW, that's ridiculous haha! I bet you were annoyed, none the less, it's a pretty cool picture. Surly it's not that congested all the time? You'll have to work out when it's not rush hour!
So, I did a little research on a satellite tracking web site.
It looks like imaging NGC2170 from a site in Australia wouldn't present any problems. From Brisbane, all of the geostationary satellites have declinations around +4 to +6 degrees.
However, from New Mexico where the scope was located, they are all around -4 to -6 degrees and when you look at how many are floating around out there the result is not surprising!

Not satellites at all.... Obvious example of plasma canon fire and photon torpedo trails.... I bet the imperial star fleet was just out of frame... better luck next time

speaking of which, the Norse IPViking site is quite fascinating to watch. It's a real time view of cyber attacks detected by their honeypots.
Wow! Will be very interesting to see how your artifact rejection software handles it, and whether the "saturn" section comes out ok on the final image.
