| Re: are these satellites? They're likely to be normal stars. It's highly unlikely you resolved 5 all at once, as they travel at different heights they'll probably have different speeds, so the streaks would be different lengths - yours are all exactly the same plus/minus a bit of luminosity. If you did manage to catch a satellite, i'd expect a star field in the background (over 25 seconds it's a little difficult because you'll start getting streaks) with a slash moving in front, relative to it. Sorry to disappoint, but that's my opinion ![]() I see it's a 25 second exposure, did you nudge the tripod a bit? ![]() Out of interest what were you snapping - just a sky shot or morning stars? |

| Re: are these satellites? I would agree with stars, if you look at them all, they all have the same trail with a blip about 1/3 into the exposure, this is most likely caused by vibration to the tripod or surrounding area relevant to how the camera was positioned. |
