"Kiwi photographer captures images of hundreds of satellites in the night sky" by Stuff🇳🇿 - With networking satellite constellations, particularly #StarLink, there are noticeably more satellites in the night sky recently. A photographer in New Zealand took 578 photos with 8 second exposures over a 2 hour period, capturing trails of 1400 satellites. (In the foreground is Mt Taranaki volcano on NZ's North Island.) https://www.stuff.co.nz/culture/361053243/kiwi-photographer-captures-images-hundreds-satellites-night-sky #satellite #astrophotography #astronomy #space
