Unusual Light Captured While Tracking Orion \u2013 February 25, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

I recently came across a fascinating video on YouTube showcasing an object that was unexpectedly caught in the frame during a long exposure shot of the night sky. <\/p>\n

This event took place in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2025.<\/p>\n

YouTube Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I headed out to test out my iOptron Skytracker Pro, a Christmas gift I hadn’t had much time to use due to the weather. Last night, I set up and began capturing 60-second exposures at 55mm in an attempt to gather enough images for stacking later. Unfortunately, clouds rolled in, and while playing around, I decided to do a timelapse\u2014that\u2019s when I noticed the intriguing light appearing in the sky.<\/p>\n

The light is visible across 18 frames, indicating that it traveled that portion of the sky over approximately 18 minutes. I\u2019m not sure what could be moving at such a slow pace; any insights would be greatly appreciated. It seems way too slow to be a plane, satellite, or even a meteorite.<\/p>\n

Camera & Settings:<\/strong>
\n– Camera: Sony A7iii
\n– Lens: Sony 24-105mm G F\/4.0<\/p>\n

Shooting Settings:<\/strong>
