Here's the story (repeated on the video):
I bought a fisheye CCTV lens from Steve at astroshop.com and put it on a colour camera attached to the outside of my observatory near Brisbane.
It is in an enclosure which causes some reflections (it has doubled up all thestars!), and is not exactly brilliantly focussed either - oh and don't forget the near full moon! I set the camera to a 2.5 sec exposure and left it recording all night with the software set to take a frame every 5 seconds - just for fun.
When I watched it back this morning, there is an object traversing SE-NW at approx 3:07am very bright and possibly with a tail. It takes nearly three mins to go from horizon to horizon and I have checked Calsky and Heavens above for any known object that matches, but nothing.
It would have to be very high to be illuminated by the sun at this time across the whole sky, so that rules out an aircraft. Going too slow for a meteor...
Any ideas?
