Ok, let's get started 😊🛰️

Most of You already know me, so there's no need to introductions.

I'll start with a megathread of my favourite satellite pics processed by me in 2024.

Various dates, most of them were taken by Sentinel-2.

🔥 Etosha National Park Wildfire, Namibia Sept-Oct 2025

Over 34% of the park (~775,000 ha) burned, sparked near farms on the border.
500+ responders fought the blaze as wildlife and grazing lands were hit.

It's actual light, on the right there was a shadow from a cloud.

And that yellow/reddish hue is done on purpose 😊

'Satellite Swarm Zoom'

A star trail image made with a time-lapse image sequence photographed by Jonny Kim from ISS. Each image was restored, remastered then retimed using frame interpolation for a short film. These new frames allowed for a simulated long exposure photograph.

Stars and satellites glowing in long exposure streaks of light as ISS orbits Earth.

Typhoon Halong has quickly strengthened into a Category Four storm to the south of Japan.

This animation shows the last 24 hours for Halong.

Captured something interesting a couple of days ago - colourful satellites. I've seen blue Starlinks before but not green and blue ones together. What's with the different colours? Apparently it's all to do with different coatings they have. More info in the ALT. #Astronomy #Space #Astrophotography

Two Starlink satellite trails, one green and one blue. They are passing through Gemini on 5 October 2025 at 04:35 UT. The bright stars above the green trail are Castor and Pollux. The bright object at the end of the blue trail is Jupiter. Taken with a Canon 600D and 50mm lens at 10s exp, 50mm fl, f/1.8, ISO-800.

I know that the blue ones are due to a coating on the newer 'Direct to Cell' satellites that is supposed to make them less visible in the night sky. Apparently the latest coatings have a green hue, meant to make them even less visible (I assume). Satellite mega constellations are the vermin of the sky but in some circumstances make for an interesting picture.
