Commentary:
Last night (19.04.2020) I photographed the comet C2019/Y4 (ATLAS). My local night sky suffers from light pollution, and stacking of multiple exposures is necessary in order to image the comet. Unfortunately, I have not considered that the trajectories of the Starlink satellites will complicate matters. My field of view was not contaminated by two crossing trains of satellites. Many exposures were rendered unusable.
