Astrophotography: What the heck...
Jul 23, 2019 12:48:13 #
So I'm not an astrophotographer. It is something I would like to pursue. Trying a couple of shots over the Wakulla River in Florida panhandle, I caught some things I got no clue what they are. I did reverse image searches and one could be Space x satellites except there were four stings of them. The other I got no clue. They are not in all my shots. These are cropped jpegs with noise reduction to make them clearer. As I said I am not an astrophotographer, this was like my second or third time trying. So if this is a dumb question my apologies. thanks rc

Thank you. I can usually see airplanes I'm guessing these were up high enough I couldn't? I am south of the Tallahassee airport so that would make sense. Again, thanks

Yep, aircraft. If it was a satellite or space station it would just look like a star moving across the sky.

I wondered about the first after seeing video and some pics of the satellites launched from the last SpaceX launch. But they said within a few weeks they would no longer be visible. Must say I thought it was pretty cool. and here I was hoping I wouldn't have to pack up and head to Area 51, darn. Interesting all the sites I visited trying to get an answer and bang, post here and there it is. Thanks again.
