Jared, I have no idea. Sounds good to me. Could have been aliens looking for probing material. I was there asleep in my chair until the computer woke me up. They missed their opportunity. Speaking of probing, I just got back from the physician’s office (annual physical). Lot’s of fun. He told me that if he didn’t have all those other patients I’d be his favorite. Made me almost tear up. Dave On Sep 2, 2014, at 9:30, Jared Smith <jared@smithplanet.com> wrote:
Nice capture of Comet Jacques. The line down the right is clearly a satellite, and at first I thought the three parallel lines were a capture of a NOSS satellite trio, but the difference in brightness and the slightly offset brighter line segments suggest this is a jet with strobing wing lights instead. Agree?

Looks very nice, Joe. I wish I could get the same polar alignment with my Meade mount. I’ve been getting a lot of football-shaped stars with the bigger scope. More learning curve…I hate that.
Here’s a quick 10-minute exposure I did through the 81mm refractor this morning of Comet C/2014 E2. Three satellites came through in that 10-minute exposure. No dark subtraction, obviously.
