Satellites

The brighter trail is the International Space Station, as it dims when heading into the earth's shadow. Viewed large it may be possible to see the trails of five other satellites. Those two light blurs are the Magellanic Clouds, themselves small satellite galaxies to the Milky Way.

Absolutely Brilliant Capture. The 3 Trails are easy to see. Looked into the largest view-able and see the 2 more trails although faint at the bottom of the image.. Again Brilliant. Well done George. Regards Tess.
