Mike, thanks for the positive comment. Each frame is 4 minutes long and the image 1st appeared in file xxx426.cr2 and remained there visible until sunrise when it was washed out. xxx426.cr2 was captured at 04:16AM WST and it is not visible in earlier frames. It also moves slower than the trail rotation - ie when looking at a nearby star, the star is advancing in a clockwise direction roughly 3 times quicker than the mystery object.

I also had a lense hood on at the time and the location of the camera was immediately west of our chook shed. So the camera was well shaded.

BTW my last useable frame was xx445.cr2 at approx 5:34AM.

Hmm - interesting.

Cheers,
Darrin...
