For the operational phase SpaceX added a sunshade which reflects light away from the Earth. This plus the higher orbit makes the satellites dim enough that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. This sunshade was designed with feedback from astronomers at the often mentioned LSST, which is the single telescope most affected by large satellite constellations. It will prevent artifacts from the imaging sensor's pixels becoming saturated, which is the main concern. The satellites will be visible to the telescope but can be filtered out with standard techniques already in use to filter out the thousands of other satellites already in orbit.
