Satellite trails are now an exposure problem
sensor crossings across 0 repeated 300-second exposures
protected shutter loss averages 0% over the same block
Close the optical channel only when the satellite crosses
StealthTransit uses current orbital elements to predict when known satellites will enter a telescope field. A normal 300-second exposure accumulates bright trails from every crossing. The protected exposure applies a timed interruption only during the predicted transit. The result is a cleaner scientific frame with less discarded observing time. The first product is remote deployment support for observatories that need operational satellite mitigation now.

StealthTransit helps observatories preserve optical exposures by predicting satellite transits and interrupting the optical channel only while contamination would occur. Remote technical support covers site calibration, scenario validation, shutter timing and operator reporting.
