There are lots of satellites here in the southern skies too. But the stars behind the satellites are absolutely incredible! The Milky Way was absurdly bright! The Magellenic Clouds were so easy to see! WOOOOWWWWW

Looking up at the Milky Way stretching across the sky, with the Magellenic Clouds appearing as two easily visible cloudy spots nearby. The sky is ringed by silhouetted trees.

Looking up at the Milky Way with the Magellenic Clouds nearby, and a couple of very bright satellite streaks passing over everything.

Looking toward the northern part of the Milky Way, Orion is buried in there if you look carefully, though it's hard to see because there are so many stars (and it's upside down from how I'm used to see it in the Northern hemisphere). There are a whole lot of faint satellite streaks across the lower part of the sky, and there are silhouetted trees all around the edges of the photo.

The two Magellenic clouds, with silhouetted trees on either side of the photo, and an obnoxiously bright satellite streak.
