New galaxy discovered in my back garden !!!

[Tykeviewer]

I was experimenting with time-lapse photography in my light polluted back garden last night, 29/07/15, and captured a new galaxy! 

A link to the movie is given below, beginning at twilight.  The camera was pointed due south, but was fitted with a wide angle lens at 14mm on a full frame DSLR, so has quite a wide field of view.  Look for the new galaxy from about half-way through.  

The principal stars forming a triangle are as follows; the top left corner is Deneb, the top right is Vega, and the bottom is Altair.

I consulted every astronomy app to try to identify the new galaxy, before realising that it didn't move as the earth turned.  Sadly, it seems that my discovery of this new galaxy is nothing more than an optical effect of the streetlight on the fish-eye lens.

Oh well, can't win 'em all

What's wrong with a geostationary galaxy? :icon_scratch:

You hold out for discovering not only a new galaxy, but a new type of galaxy.  :laugh2:

I really liked your time lapse effect - want to try something like this out. Shame about not getting to name a new galaxy ...

Just a very high proper motion. I think you're on to winner. And finally something that us Dob users can image...

Congrats! You found one for the science journals.

Great all sky time lapse, but those streetlights would have me in campaigning mood ;-) Obviously a new class of object, perhaps reflection Galaxy? See if the Council can shield or, better still, turn those lights out, so you can do a full and proper scientific evaluation

And I thought my LP was bad    at least I don't (Yet) have any streetlights shining directly into my back garden.
