Unusual Light Detected While Tracking Orion – February 25, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

I recently came across a fascinating YouTube video that showcases an unusual object captured in the frame during a long exposure night sky shoot. The event took place in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was out testing my new iOptron Skytracker Pro, a Christmas gift that I hadn\u2019t had much chance to use due to the weather. Last night, I set up my equipment and began taking 60-second exposures at 55mm. I\u2019m aiming to stack these long exposure shots once I get them onto my computer. Unfortunately, clouds rolled in, so I decided to play around a bit and started a timelapse. That’s when I noticed the unusual light appearing in the sky.<\/p>\n

Over the course of 18 shots, the light moved across a small section of the sky, suggesting it took about 18 minutes for this movement to occur. I\u2019m curious what could be moving at such a slow pace; it doesn\u2019t seem fast enough to be a plane, satellite, or even a meteorite. If anyone has insights, I\u2019d love to hear them!<\/p>\n
