Very nice immages there Chris.
Good colour too.

The satellites could be military ones.

I have seen duos and trios of satellites while observing. They remain in a perfect formation in pairs and triples.
I googled trios of sattelites a while back, and up came NOSS sattellites.
National Observational Surveliance Satellites.

Just checked again and the trios are lablelled Naval Ocean Surveilance System. ????

I think they must get better resolution with them in much the same way as an ARRAY of radio telescopes would.

Now I am confused with the two descriptions. Maybe we arent to know.????


Keep the images coming.

I like em.

Geoffro.
