More Space Pollution

A pass of around 49 Starlink satellites by the constellation Virgo.

This set of satellites were launched on January 6, 2022 from the Kennedy Space Center

Elon Musk/Space X plan to launch over 1700 low earth satellites to provide world wide internet coverage.

Astronomers are concerned that ground observations will be affected by the large number of satellites in our night skies.

I took a 2 minute video.
Then used photoshop to extract 4951 frames.
Then stacked all the frames in StarStax program.

There was one particular satellite with a bright flare.

Nice job capturing this. I'm not a fan of all these satellites either.
