Gotcha! Comet P168 animation

[blinky]

First time for me doing an animation! This is 47 images with my Altair F4 Imaging Newt and QHY8, taken last night as it passed through pegasus. Subs were 5mins long - which makes me wonder what the slow moving object is that too around 10 mins to pass through was? It's early on in the animation, it's surely too slow for a sat?

Thats a superb animation although can't say what the moving object was.

I had a very similar issue with a slow-moving object recently when taking images of an asteroid. I was doing a series of 60s shots and the object left a trail on several of them, which would mean (given my frame size) it was moving at something like 4 arcminutes/minute.

Possibly a geostationary satelite (or at least something a long way out). The speed of a satelite is proportional to it's orbit distance.
