Single frame and lots of stars that haven't moved?

Not convinced that's a satellite burning up.

The pattern is repeated above and below the bright one, the one below is brighter than the one above.

Interested on why you want the background bought out.

[Pete Presland]

Certainly an odd looking image, do you have any other capture details?

10 sec shot from a Nikon D3200, 70mm @ f/8 ISO 800 auto white balance.

I thought that at first, but I think the ‘stars’ are noise/bright pixels.

[Pete Presland]

Popped it into Astrometry to see where in the sky it was, it came up with this. Certainly looks like they are stars.

[Pete Presland]

Tiangong-1 hasn't come down early has it?  

The same pattern occurs in the image twice, much fainter and smaller low down. I am thinking some sort of reflection form a bright nearby light source perhaps, nothing actually in the sky?

I stand corrected!! Thanks Pete

I wasn't sure either, that's why I tried it.

It's not this is it? 

disco ball satellite has plunged back to Earth

Pure fluke i was shooting a series to stack,

If you look at Theta, it seems to have a multiple streak in the same direction as Spica? Or does the multiple system show at this resolution? I cannot recall. There seems to be a hint on some other stars too but maybe my mind is playing tricks? Perhaps the dimmer ones were not bright enough to record the movement in 10 seconds? I am quite happy to be proved wrong but it still seems a more logical solution that the mount was knocked to me. I am certainly no imager so cannot help with image train or external issues.

[JamesF]

I'm inclined to agree with Moonshane at the moment.  It's telling the Spica, a very bright star. is on the bright line.  The "hook" at the top of the bright trace appears to be duplicated faintly above the indicated position of Spica, too.  So I think something happened that shifted the sensor position mid-exposure.  The duplicated traces perhaps suggest that it was something mechanical and periodic though, rather than a bump?

It's 70mm on an APS-C sensor so widesh field.

The duplicate is a triple as there is another higher to the right.

A re-entering satellite would not reverse and do a loop.

[Moonshane]

My point is that if you look at the brighter stars, the pattern is repeated through the image.

Looks like a knocked image overlaid on a still one

The really bright star is Jupiter.

[Moonshane]

LOL

Good point.

Comments associated with the post state a loud double crack was heard and the object seen at the same time, this would not be possible for an upper atmosphere object, the sound would have been delayed substantially.

Given the OP's location is Lowestoft I would say that this is a capture of a coastguard or RNLI station maroon flare being launched nearby.

When I used to holiday as a youngster down in Poole we used to see and hear these maroons being launched from the Poole lifeboat station. A single crack is heard as they explode, often followed by an echoed crack a moment or so later. The twisting track of the maroon is typical of the ones I recall.

As others have stated the objects trace is duplicated in the image and is most likely an internal lens reflection.

I think Oddsocks pretty much sounds like he’s experienced this phenomenon before, sounds convincing to me!
