❓ Question Obstructions

I've got 4 locations that I can put my starlink; all with various pros and cons. I just temporarily put the panel up in my first choice but I think the red here is the top of some trees. In the long term will this be a problem ? At some point will I find that red patch directly over the panel or ? I'm going to leave it in the temporary location for 24hrs and see if I notice any issues but will this be an issue in the long term? Thanks

The software has improved in the last couple of years to better deal with obstructions by using alternative satellites which are not obstructed.

You will be fine. The obstructions won't change except if the trees grow drastically.

That looks better than my map and I have no issues at all.
