Rosette traffic

I made an animated gif (HOPEFULLY WORKS HERE!) of 24 x 30 sec luminance frames I took of the Rosette nebula. LOT of traffic going on (remember each frame is 30 secs), including 4 objects (left side) following each other.

Will do one recently too that showed an object moving SLOWLY (since the frames are 5 minutes each), so likely an asteroid/NEO

Fingers crossed the animated gif ANIMATES...

EDIT: at 200 px, it's not worth it - how to upload a decent sized animated gif/where? You can barely see the traffic (MANY objects)

Looks like the opening scenes of a Star Wars movie!

Looks like a busy section of the galaxy.

From one who lives under the flight path to Maroochydore, Brisbane and Amberly (as well as living close to 2 busy private air fields) you have my complete sympathy.
We can be grateful to the median combine gods that they don't affect our images.

Nettie,

That's not aviation traffic. That's just a bit higher up... like mesosphere/thermosphere. Satellites and likely meteoric origins.

I blink all my images when stacking (CCDStack does that), looking for dud images and anything interesting. I was delighted to see this much reflective traffic in a 12 minute run.

Reminds myself to still do the suspected asteroid I captured passing through NGC1365 environs recently too.
