Thought you all might like this. The video is 5 hours worth of individual frames, condensed and converted into a 21 second video. Check out the # of satellites passing through M42 over this 5 hour period. (hope the video attached).

Wow. A lot of traffic with many in the same orbit. Thanks for sharing.

I believe that these are geosynchronous satellites over the equator and due to our latitude they happen to coincide with M42. Since the scope is on sidereal tracking it appears that the stationary satellites are moving across the field of view. I've seen these guys many times in the M42 region. Great animation; really brings it to life! On Wed, Jan 1, 2020, 7:12 PM Duane Dunlap <lddunlap41@...> wrote: Wow. A lot of traffic with many in the same orbit. Thanks for sharing. |
