The trees are out of focus because they are in the foreground, but the stars were in focus. I probably should have tilted the camera up to capture just sky. Without shooting at wide open aperture the trees were actually too close to get in focus, and the ISS was so bright I decided to stop down the aperture for a better image.

Quite few countries with the ability to put satellites in orbit now, so it might be a new one that hasn’t been publicized yet, or another spy sat they want to keep quiet about. I managed to catch the ISS flyover last night (3 June 2023) about 21:14 CDT before astronomical twilight. Captured with my Sony ZV-E10 and FE 28mm f/2 lens at 24p 100M using PP7. Arcturus was at mag. +0.15 and the ISS at mag. -2.7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ubdC6aZtXs

Leo, I uploaded an MP4 created via DaVinci Resolve 18.5 from my MacBook Air M1 rather than linking to a Youtube video. Here is a link to a Youtube video, but it is at 2x speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmM2QfqzqWI

HST flyover on 17 May 2023 from north Texas. This was a mag +1 flyover and looks similar to what you saw. Did you try to see if any HST flyovers occurred in that timeframe? HST-Flyover-PP7-2023-05-17-zoomed-text.mp4

This is a video of an April Lyrids meteor captured on 24 April 2023 using my Sony ZV-E10 with Rokinon 20mm t/1.9 lens at 01:05 CDT (06:05 UTC) in Everman, Texas. Video was shot in true 4K using 24p 60M. The video shows the full size image at normal speed, then shows a cropped in view at normal speed, then finally shows a cropped in view at 1/10th speed so you can see how the meteor flares multiple times and understand how that will look when captured within a long, still image photo. I also captured a still image of this meteor with my Sony a7 camera with a FE 28mm f/2 lens and have shown a full and a cropped view of that too. April-Lyrids-2023-04-24-4K.mp4
