The noise from a single image of that duration would be unworkable. Even if there were no planes or satellites, nobody would take that as a single exposure. | ||

Signal scales with exposure time, noise scales with the root of exposure time. So although the noise increases with time, the signal-noise ratio increases faster. When dealing with astronomy photos, you want to maximise SNR. (This is a simplification, there are many types of noise including shot noise and thermal noise, but in general this is the rule of thumb you use) |
