Meteor or satellite?

[Glasspusher]

I managed to capture this on my recent visit to La Palma, clearly one of the 'streaks' is a satellite...but what about the other? I can't make my mind up, any toughts anyone? Exposure was 60seconds with a 135mm lens on my self modded canon 1000d on an astrotrac mount. Comments appreciated. Thanks.

Not a satellite, I'd say, because it would be unlikely to brighten and fade in that way. It would just vandalize your pic with a straight white line!

Meteor as Olly says.

Couldn't it be an iridium flare?

Nice image, by the way. A single 60s sub? You must have had great skies in La Palma!

Looks like an iridium flare to me too. If you have the time and date of the image and your location, some bright spark will be able to tell you for sure

Hard to say. Could be a satellite if it was rotating slowly, or had a very specific refllection angle (like the Iridium sats do). Also looks like a pretty classical meteor trail... Not sure there is anything from the image that would tell the difference, unless you could identify a specific satellite at that time/place...

Nice image
