Look where it is, though -- against the polar stars, moving strongly in declination, with a curve. No geosync orbit there. :-) Must be a UFO. *nodnod* Or a sporadic meteor, those are always around, just random bits of sand and stuff.

[edit] After looking again, I see the streak doesn't have those dark markings that show something got in the way of the lens (all the star trails show those). That means either it moved fast, as a meteor would, or it's maybe a crease in the film base. :-D

Or a UFO. If that's the case you can expect it to land soon to destroy your photos... for the safety of the Rigelian Empire.

Here's a closeup of the streak. Unfortunately, I can't quite see the aliens waving, but that's probably because the resolution of the film is kept low by the government so nobody can accurately photograph what's really going on around us ...

Interesting coloration. Guess that's some crud in the sky... or it could be a real color change. The slight waviness and tapered ends (like a brush-stroke) make me think it's probably a meteor.

It's definitely not a UFO. I asked Marvin the Martian and he said he'd bet me a case of ACME Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators that it wasn't.

Interesting thread

Just to let you know that I was able to get some flea market specials: a 10x50 pair of Binocs for 7.00! They work pretty well, and now waiting for my 16x70 Celestron SkyMasters to come in from Amazon. So I am set up for Binocular astronomy, as well as meator watch ( but I guesss meator watching is naked eye..oh well.

I also got Star Atlas 2000 Deluxe edition for only $2.00! I was going to get it for Xmas for $40.00, but now I don't have to :-)It's a BIG ( as in size) Star Atlas as well, but is recommended as one of the best Star Atlases for Amature Astro-geezers ( like me)

Actually 4, but the 4th is a supplement

OT: Perseid visibility (sp?)
