I wasn't going to say a word. The pole is actually much less noticeable this time compared to previous sequences.

Hi David,
I think they are probably satellites. There are no big international airports anywhere near here for all those streaks to be aircraft. Those streaks are going east-west, the nearest big city international airports are up north in Asia. From Central West NSW, the nearest international airports east of me are Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires.
Pole is less noticeable because I'm using a much wider angle lens this time, a 14mm vs 34mm when you mentioned it last Oct. Lens selection is a bit of a roll of the dice. Unless the display is at maximum when you start, you don't know how high in altitude the display will be. Go too wide and it's just a little thin glow at the bottom of the frame. Go too narrow and a big display can spill out of frame. If capturing a time lapse sequence, I don't like to have a discontinuity from a lens change mid-sequence.
cheers
Joe
