Abstract

Satellites are an incredible invention; a large but easily overlooked part of modern life. Unfortunately, they can cause disruption to astronomical images. This project’s aim was to learn about the satellites, discover the extent of this disruption and attempt to mitigate against the impact of satellites in Warwick’s GOTO astronomical images.
