The astrophotographer I worked with earlier this month, Jeanine Holowatuik https://www.instagram.com/jeanine.holowatuik/ https://northernescapephotography.com/about/ sent me some horrifying (Halloween-levels of scary) time lapse movies she took of Comet Lemmon.
Why horrifying? Starlink.

I wrote a paper https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022AJ....163...21L/abstract a few years ago with Aaron Boley and @hannorein and our horrifying predictions for light pollution from satellites are matching up perfectly, Lemmon was low in the northwest for this video: https://mediaspace.uregina.ca/media/Latitude+50N%2C+Equinox/0_4js9u8h4
I'd even argue we were a bit too conservative/optimistic in our assumptions of satellite brightnesses. I've never wanted to be wrong in a scientific paper before, but I sure wanted to be wrong about that one.
Shit.
