Satellites?

While photographing the Southern Cross I had something transverse my pic. Could it have been two satelites next to each other?

Any ideas?

Pic was taken at the Vic South Astro camp last weekend.
36° 27.3' S 141° 40.1' E. 150 metres above sea level

16 10sec exposures between 2.43am and 2.48 am on 31/10/2011

It was moving right to left and downwards.
Note that the pic needs to be tilted about 45 degrees to the left to be in the correct orientation. The brightest star is Acrux.
