Yep, it's shocking how much stuff you see in a normal viewing session, starlink, other satellites, boosters from past launches, etc.... It's not unusual for me to get distracted by a satellite and chase it.

Image is not my sensor but it gives an idea of the problem. Leakage cause by thermal pads used in the design I guess.

Ouch! That sucks, but at least it's getting replaced.
