More Starlink satellites – effect on astronomy

Looks like the deployment of star link satellites is now causing more issues. While professional astronomers can use software etc to mitigate the effects of the trails. Amateur astronomers probably can't do this as easily.

With more planned, and other companies planning their own deployment. Astronomy is hard enough as it is, with light pollution, so this will affect other areas, and the economy built up around clear skies.

If you live somewhere with good view of the night sky, will your house price go DOWN as a result of these satellites.

We don't need all this extra junk in space, if the price we pay affects our view of the night sky.
