AFAIK Atlas doesn’t provide API to easily change location of the probe so it must be changed manually via Atlas API which will be super cumbersome for the host. It’s also interesting what country will be assigned to the probe if you select location on international waters.

It also doesn't matter if the probe is "moving" or at a fixed location. Most important is availability and reliability. Please don't deploy a probe only for some weeks. It should be up and running in the long-term.

No harm in collecting data from a probe in motion. I have no idea how starlink decides what ground station to bounce your service down onto, it might be interesting to see how it works the further you get from home. Consider tagging the probe somehow so that it can be found easily, or so that it's obvious why it's an outlier when somebody finds it in their analysis. I think some other probes have a starlink tag on them, but yours might be the only starlink on a boat.
