On the light pollution point, twilight is the worst time for satellite brightness, but as the satellites enter the Earth's shadow their brightness rapidly diminishes. Some estimates are 10%-30% data loss during twilight for Vera Rubin observatory and 2% for vlt. A problem for Vera Rubin, but not so much for other observatories.
