Objects Tracked in Orbit
Active Payloads ? Operational satellites & stations
Tracked Debris ? Catalogued fragments ≥ ~10 cm
Rocket Bodies ? Spent upper stages in orbit
Unknown / Other Unclassified tracked objects
Most debris is too small to see — but pieces the size of a marble can disable a satellite at orbital speeds.

Satellite Trail Risk — Astrophotography Coming Soon
Automated trail-risk prediction for your imaging session is planned. Configure your target below; the prediction engine will flag pass windows crossing your FOV.
Session Parameters (not yet active)
ISS Mag −2 to −4 at best passes. Very bright streak. Skip the frame.
Starlink trains Mag 3–5 within days of launch. Use Tonight's Passes panel above for timing.
Stacking mitigation Sigma-clipping / Winsorized rejection removes single-frame satellite trails automatically.
Orbital Interference The Orbital Interference tool shows a real-time sky view of objects above your horizon.
