How come you can't see any of 30,000 and more satellites in any of these live streams? Not even a single reflection of sunlight off of them? Honest question. Shouldn't they be glowing like a Christmas tree any time the light hits them?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80872342 No. Most are very faint. Some can be seen in long exposures. But yet we can see them from the surface? Retard alert You're talking to the guy who wrote the best amateur software out there for tracking satellites with off the shelf equipment. Most are faint. Most require long exposures. These are facts. Those that are bright enough to be seen easily by naked eye are typically lower the orbit, relatively large, and can only be seen near the terminator either at morning or dusk. The easiest way to spot satellites from orbit is with long exposures pointing towards the terminator when the sun is still below the horizon for the observing spacecraft. It's not hard to make that software dude. All you need to do is set a loop that detects when the pixels that make up the rocket get close enough to one of the edges of the frame. When this happens, the algorithm decides whether to move the x servo or the y servo, and by how much to move it. This is pretty rudimentary stuff and you look like a fool acting like nobody else with knowledge of programming and electronics can do that. I've actually done very similar stuff with nvidia GPUs and object detection libraries.
