Streak of light?


Recommended Posts

Just finished off last night pointing the telescope in the general direction of Heart and Soul Nebs. Shortly after starting some cloud, mist? rolled in from the bottom left, was so dark could see nothing but the stars disappearing. I gave up at the point and was about to delete subs when skipping through them I noticed a diagonal streak of light. Looking at it closer I have no idea what it is. Apart from the streak of light there is a bright light on the trail and a red glowing light below it. Non of them are on the previous or following frames.

Capture details. 30 secs exposures with 5 seconds between each one. ISO 1600, 500mmFL.

Time of streak 10.54pm French time. 9:54 UK time. 

Any suggestions as to what it is, welcome.

Here is the first frame before the cloud/mist.

Here is the frame before the streak, you can see the bottom left corner is nearly void of stars now.
