....... and these are only those belonging to Elon, although you can look at other satellites too.

I can understand why some observatories are concerned about satellites interfering with their astronomical observations.

Never ceases to amaze me that every time I walk outside at night and look up do I see multiple satellites overhead going in all directions and of differing brightness  ian |

I know what you mean, Ian.
Although I don't see satellites every time I look to the night sky, they are, understandably, much more common than some years ago. I remember when seeing a satellite used to be an unusual event and worth mentioning.

He's launched thousands of them recently. Looking towards the west last night, after sunset, what I thought were two planes coming towards me with their landing lights full on turned out to be planets Jupiter and Venus! |
