They certainly do produce extraordinary finished images and they are far better than anything that we have seen in the past so I think we can conclude that the “good” tech (sensors, mounts, optics and processing software) is currently beating the “bad” tech (LED lights, LEO mega-constellations). The comet imagers of old would have been astonished by the quality of images produced today.
We have to live in the world as it is rather than the world we would like so dealing with mega-constellations is, for now, just another hassle, like the weather or light pollution. If these images are processed by separating the comet from the star background, processing each one differently, possibly with some clever, statistical noise reduction and then putting them back together then using statistics or AI to remove the satellite trails is just another step.
