RE: [APML] Satellite avoidance in photos

are you sure they will be illuminated at that time? It requires a pretty
high orbit inclination

Subject: [APML] Satellite avoidance in photos


I'm trying to plan for some photos this weekend.  Somehow, I've
managed to never have a satellite show up on one of my shots.
However, I'm using Starry Night Pro and finding several bright
satellites that will pass through Hercules between 11:00 PM and
midnight.  How faint can one of these be before I stop worrying about
it?

Obviously, how fast it moves will also be a factor.  I plan on
shooting with Elite Chrome 200 and Provia 400.  Maybe with hypered TP,
probably at f/4 (50mm lens, I'm shooting constellation "portraits").

I've got one mag 5, one mag 0.2, and one mag 0.8 that pass through the
constellation.  I'm guessing the mag 5 one may not show up but the
other two I will definitely have to avoid.
