Orion Nebula, Sirius, Betelgeuse, Mars & Pleiades came out better tonight, especially the photos. Once again at the end (at 6:28) we have the uncut 51 minutes of video sped up to 2 minutes.
In reference to the streak caught on long exposure photos near the Orion Nebula - I got stuck out there taking one long exposure after another because I saw that streak in one of them and didn't know what I was capturing at the time. I'm still a bit unsure if they were the 2 satellites I mentioned, the Galaxy 17 and Nimiq6, because none of the other geostationary sats showed up and they're all the same magnitude Whatever it was, it must've been high high up to move so slowly across the frame. Most satellites will show up in about 2 or 3 shots of the same frame within just a few seconds as they streak by, while these stayed in frame for 21 minutes before I eventually gave up.
