I feel your pain. In 9 of my M78 images I took recently I have either satellite or meteor streaks. One odd one though was an asteroid - I watched it live in the guide cam - quite bright, and took 2.5 minutes to go from the top to the bottom of the frame. Maybe a geo-sync, but not sure.

Don't ***** to me about gradients or I will corner the bacon stock cube market! I am going to HAVE to purchase a sodium vapor filter.
