Starlink constellations are our most frequent satellite sightings from space station, appearing as distinct and numerous orbiting streaks in my star trail exposures. During Expedition 72 I saw thousands of them, and was fortunate enough to capture many in my imagery to share with you all.
Taken with Nikon Z9, Arri-Zeiss 15mm T1.8 master prime lens, 30 second exposures compiled into an effective 30 minute exposure, T1.8, ISO 200, assembled with Photoshop (levels, color, some spot tool).

Why does the earth look like that pattern? I understand it’s a long exposure, but the color and pattern look strange.
Thank you so much for this. How fast does it look to the naked eye? I’ve always wondered.
what is the rainbow in the distance? is that the atmosphere?
