cafuego 🔭🤦🏼♂️And here is the rest of the images - the set I excluded from the first post.
Do astrophotography, they said.
It’ll be fun, they said.
Take pretty photos of comets, they said.
And once again #comet12p is #starlinked #spamlink #astrophotography #astrodon
cafuegoThe setting Milky Way and spamlink flares.
Last night I went to snap some photos of the Milky Way, which is now setting around midnight and is more or less parallel with the horizon from here as it does so.
Over the course of about 20 minutes, I saw several dozen bright flares low on the south western horizon, some as bright as magnitude 0. This is a stack of 5 x 30 second exposures.
The stars at top left are ⍺ and β Centauri.

Arnaud Saint-MartinOh là là je viens d'observer 20 points en enfilade dans le ciel du Berry. Qu'est-ce que c'était ? Arf. Bon. Hein. Fuck. #starlinked
Abel HelabethFun fact : depuis que le suis #starlinked, la plupart des sites m’identifient comme espagnol par défaut. Si tant est que ce soit un défaut, caramba ! :catho_marxiste:
@ben Yep, noté, j’y reviendrai. En attendant, ça y est : #starlinked 
Quelques difficultés dues à ma configuration locale (notamment la carte réseau de mon PC qu’il va vraiment falloir changer) mais en éliminant les pbs matériels, passer de 800 ko/s à, selon les moments, entre 50 et 200+ Mo/s, ça vous défrise un campagnard. Et ça m’arrange bien car je vais pourvoir re-télécharger une série de CDs achetés sur Qobuz, qui souffraient de craquements intempestifs dus à des parasites sur la ligne pendant le (trop) long temps de téléchargement. Je viens de tester sur Prokofiev/Melnikov, téléchargé en moins de deux minutes et ça sort tout propre maintenant, le bonheur 
Raul Cerveira Lima 🇪🇺This composition that I made last year, titled "Starlinked" (*), became surprisingly popular in Twitter back then. However, it's getting "likes" and retweets again. I wonder why... As I'm about to leave Twitter (still many important contacts there...), here's a reminder of my "appreciation" for this person and for his lack of care and interest in the #NightSky and #astronomy.
(*) The hashtag #Starlinked is not mine, but I can't find the original author... Maybe he's deleted his account...?

Daniel ThorngrenIf you weren't aware, astronomers don't have a great relationship with Musk. A big issue for us is the Starlink satellites, which due to their low altitude and high number, already regularly interfere with ground-based observations. #starlinked on Twitter has endless examples.
We get told it's the "price of progress" and that SpaceX will make space telescopes cheap anyway. But that's BS: development of advanced space tech is much more expensive than the launch.
