Starlink Satellites Make A Night Sky Timelapse Look Like A Scifi Gun Shooting Scene!

There is a lot of talking about the Starlink satellites lately. SpaceX (from Elon Musk) is launching a lot of satellites and they can be seen as a ‘train’ in the night sky.

For photographers and especially for timelapse photographers this is really annoying. I was shooting a timelapse of the Lyrid meteor shower and was ‘surprised’ by the Starlink satellite train.

I could erase the satellites in post production, but I wanted to show you how the satellites look like in a timelapse.

It’s almost like a gun shooting from a bad looking scifi film, haha! :-) Watch at 0:20 and 0:50.

Lets hope the brightness will be less in the future. Especially because there will be launched thousands of these satellites…

Footage is shot along the river ‘Vecht’ in the Netherlands.

Milky way and a few Lyrid meteors I caught in the timelapse.
