I don't dispute that Starlink satellites are ruining the night's sky. But the article's photo is obviously doctored:

And here's why:

• The article claims it's a 30-minute long-exposure photo. That's flatly impossible, because if it was, the stars would describe an arc in the sky - i.e. star trails. Here's one of mine for example:

  

• Assuming the stars are fixed in the sky because the camera mount was following the Earth's rotation, then why are the trees at the bottom fixed too? They should be a smear.

• Most of those supposed satellite trails are regularly-spaced dotted lines. But the image was a continuous exposure. How do we know that? because one of the trails at the bottom is a continuous line. Therefore, those trails can only be airliners. And considering the lengths of the trails - since they're interrupted - at the speed they go through, the exposure can only have been a few minutes (still plenty of time to leave star trails or tree smearing if the shot was real).

This is either manually doctored or AI-generated.
