UFO in leo

On Saturday night while framing up the Leo triplet I captured a single DSI exposure with a moving object in the field - any thought on what it was?

Plenty of satellites in that area Peter. I imaged M95, 96 and 105 the other night and picked one up and then swung over to M88 and picked up another one. One of the hazards of the game unfortunately.

I also get the occasional airplane flying through the FOV! A Median combine should get rid of these rogue trails on a single sub-frame.

Cheers

I was hoping for something more exotic! After the excitement I did manage to get the triplet also...
