Something doesn't right to me. Shouldn't the streaks vary more in their length? They all seem really similar, which given the set time of 8 seconds would mean the speed to relative distance relationship would have to be near constant for all. Some of the ones on an approaching/departing path seem to show a small variation. But are none of these on an elliptical orbit with the appogee in view? Should have a much bigger variation, I would think?

Its a manipulated/edited photograph made to look like satellites are a problem for the night sky. There's an agenda behind this.

It says they were overlaid. If that's true, then the effects should still hold true.

Its more than that. They said they spent 45 hours layering the individual photos and "Much of the time was spent painstakingly erasing stars, to reveal the satellites."
