Hi all,
I haven't done much in recent years but a good Comet will get me out every time.
Been shooting G3 Atlas for the last few evenings but last night I got more than expected.
These tracks at the top right in the pictures appear like Micro meteorites but they are coming in at some odd angles and over a large area of sky.
Please note, I could not see these while shooting the Comet, they only showed up after downloading and stretching the images a bit.
The black and white was an after thought. I went back out when it was a lot darker soon after seeing these in my images but they were much harder to catch so were only being illuminated by the sunlight I'm guessing and later were in shadow.
So all you experts tell me what I'm seeing in my images please.
Cheers
Nico.

Yeah, I know there are a load of satellites up there but I’ve been out of Astronomy in general for about eight years or so.
I had seen Mr Musks Star Link satellites as a train following each other and I guess they’re launching new ones, not Star link almost weekly these days so I guess I have to expect them.
It was just the crazy angles they were travelling at and the fact they weren’t lit up to the naked eye is what had me stumped as they looked so much like a meteor shower and not Satellite trails in some of my images.
