Image Details:

Usually during stacking of our Astrophotography Images, the stacking softwares use a special technique called Pixel Rejection method which removes the unwanted satellite trails from our stacked image. But to show the pollution/problem caused by the man-made Artificial Satellites in Astronomy, I have used a special technique to produce this image which was captured during our latest Astrophotography Worksdhop at Hanle, Ladakh. I have stacked the images in normal way to produce the main image and stacked another image to get the Satellite trails. Then I have blended these images together to produce the final image.
