Details:
This animated GIF is a compilation of 88 fifteen-second exposures showing the passing of 47+ Starlink Satellites trailing across the evening sky. Venus is the bright star-like object. Total exposure/animation time is 22-minutes. A bright waxing gibbous moon illuminated the windmill and landscape. Changes in brightness are from headlights of passing cars on a nearby highway.
The satellites appear like a string of pearls strung across the sky as they emerge out of twilight. But in the animation, it appears like anti-aircraft fire coming out of the windmill and firing at Venus. It was crazy and continuous for 20+ minutes.
The images were captured with a Canon 60Da, Sigma lens @28mm, f/4.5, ISO 800.
