Satellites only really screw up optical astronomy close to the celestial equator where the geostationary satellites all sit in direct sunlight.
And for an hour or two before sunrise and after sunset when there is
sunlight on the low Earth orbit satellites in the still relatively
bright twilight sky. It is a nuisance for comet and NEO asteroid hunters
but the rest of deep sky professional astronomy is largely unaffected.
The streaks are fairly obvious on most time exposures and entirely
different in character to the targets of interest. The image doesn't
have to be suitable for a coffee table glossy book to be useful!
