Bizzar pic of the day

How's this for an interesting trail

Single 30 sec exposure.

I think the bizzar trail is most likely due to a satellite moving through the frame and the telescope being shaken around by the strong winds last night. Perhaps a strong gust just before the start of the frame, which then continued until about half way through and then it took 10 seconds to dampen down (probably still getting a bit of wind then even).

The wind was gusting quite strong last night.

Funny result

HA HA HA!

Roger, quick!

Show it to your wife and say: "LOOK honey!, I took a picture of the love message I had signwritten in the night sky just for you!!!"

When she says:" What does it say?" you reply.............

"weioiyiyuwiufyuwhewehwfywefwdfdncw iuewzzz"

Roughly translated....it means : "I love you"

Awwwwwwwww

Cheers

Chris
