Highlights

Star trails circling Polaris with plane strobes and satellites crossing.

Star trails, 12–13 Oct

Every frame of the night stacked. The stars wheel around Polaris; dotted lines are plane strobes, straight lines are satellites. · Station YBD

A long meteor streak through the stars.

Meteor, 21 Oct 02:45

A long trail, straight to within a pixel. · Station YBD

A short, bright meteor streak with stars around it.

Meteor, 20 Oct 23:32

1.6 seconds. · Station YBD

The ISS, 19 Oct 05:42

The brightest pass of the week, matched to the station's orbit. Shown at 4× speed. · Station YBD

A Starlink, 19 Oct 05:56

Steady light, constant speed. Matched to STARLINK-11587. Real speed. · Station YBD

A plane, 22 Oct 22:30

Its strobe flashes about every 1.4 s, so the path comes out dotted. Real speed. · Station YBD
