What is this?

Couple nights while imagining I noticed what looked like satellite trail across the image. Well, nothing unusual. But then the other trail appeared and then the other. At one stage I had 6 trails visible on the image travelling in same direction. I switched camera to single shot mode and took few images. I could not see anything with naked eye. My guess is that it was rocket or satellite debris but I’m not sure. Any one got better idea what it could be? The star in middle of image is Procyon.
