Satellite light pollution obscuring the night sky

I do astrophotography and they're only really a problem for the first few hours after sunset. I don't get any ruined exposures during actual night because they're not reflecting sunlight

Light pollution is a much larger contributor to poor views of the night sky, I would rather we actually do something about that.

Honestly it's only going to get worse before it gets better which I don't think it ever will until we can make satellites smaller.

When I see them I'm in awe of what humans have accomplished.

This will happen more when stargazing shortly after sunset, as the sun can still reflect off them. Stargaze later at night and you shouldn't see them much.

I have to laugh at all these comments about Starlink. People - you can't really see Starlink satellites with your naked eye once they're in position and oriented properly. If you could see them, then more than half the lights in the sky would be satellites moving in lines across the sky. The average person can only see something like 2,500 to 4,000 stars - there are nearly 10,000 Starlink satellites in orbit now. Those moving lights you see in the sky are almost always some other type of satellite.

I mean satellites are incredibly important. I’m willing to sacrifice the views of the night sky for easy reliable data, navigation, and whole bunch of other things that benefits the average human being. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Generally this is only a problem close to sunset and sunrise. Wait a couple hours after / before this and you should not see any satellites (since they are also in Earths shadow by then.
