Thanks for your thoughts Peter! Hmm interesting. It certainly does look similar to a few other images of iridium flares I found online. It had that distinct ripple appearance even raw /pre-debayered file, that’s not something I’ve seen before with satellite trails but certainly could be a function of the l-ultimate filter or something else.
