Bob Dobber Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Went glamping for a couple of nights up near Hartington, took normal camera along - got a passable star trail! Was cool to see the Pleiades just there when I went for a leak at 3am without having to let my eyes adjust even.

Astronomer, Reinvented Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 It would be interesting to know whether the trail was a meteor or satellite. Great photo, in any case! Bob Dobber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great photo, in any case! Pretty sure it'll have been an aeroplane, it's slap bang on the flight path for all sorts of routes it seems, according to Flight Radar... And thanks.

+Glafnazur Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Nice image Rob. Yes, it's a plane, if you look carefully or make the image larger you can see two lines created by the lights. I've found loads of these as I've been going through my 'hope to catch a perseid' images from earlier in the month.

Magellan Boy Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 NIce one Rob. I caught a glimpse of the Plieades rising in the east last night, after a long imaging session... Bob Dobber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
