TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️<p>Blue (Starlink) satellite?</p><p>I captured these images last night while my cameras were on patrol for Lyrids meteors.</p><p>They appear to show a blue satellite trail around 9:19PM Mountain Daylight Time, as seen from the Sacramento mountains of southern New Mexico.</p><p>Note that camera's color balance was set to 'daylight' and in the first image another, fainter, satellite trail is also visible...it's not blue, it's a typical color. Also note star colors. This camera over the years has shown itself to be accurate in rendering color in night/day photos. </p><p>Have others seen this before?</p><p>Sony a6300 camera, 23mm lens at f/1.4, ISO 800, 30 second exposures, using intervalometer with 31-second timing. Camera pointed near zenith. (Note that this lens, at f/1.4, shows stars with coma and astigmatism in the corners of the frame...so the stars look as if they have wings/tails.)</p><p><a href="https://nova.astrometry.net/user_images/12469295#annotated" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nova.astrometry.net/user_image</span><span class="invisible">s/12469295#annotated</span></a></p><p>Please boost/share widely.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Satellite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satellite</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mystery</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Meteors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meteors</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Lyrids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lyrids</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Starlink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Starlink</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>sundogplanets</span></a></span></p>

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️<p>Lyrids meteor shower: post-peak report from the Sacramento mountains of southern New Mexico.</p><p>I set up two cameras on tripods with wide angle lenses, set the intervalometers to take 30-second exposures...went to bed...cameras kept going until almost 3AM before the batteries exhausted. Almost a thousand images.</p><p>I only captured a few Lyrids. Most were close to the shower radiant, which means they were short meteors...didn't cover much sky.</p><p>Please note the alt-text on the images.

AllanICarswellObservatoryThe Lyrids meteor shower is ongoing and will soon peak. The best time to view is the late evening of April 21 into the early morning of April 22, before the moon rises. The Lyrids usually produce about 15 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, but it has been known to produce as many as 100!<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Lyrids?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lyrids</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Meteor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meteor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MeteorShower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MeteorShower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Observing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Observing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Telescope?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Telescope</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AllanICarswellObservatory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllanICarswellObservatory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/YorkU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YorkU</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Toronto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ontario?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceScienceSaturday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceScienceSaturday</a>
