Unusual Light Observed While Capturing Orion on February 25, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

I stumbled upon this intriguing video that showcases an anomaly in the sky during a long exposure shot. It appears to have been filmed in the UK on February 25, 2025.<\/p>\n

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

Last night, I had the chance to test out my new iOptron Skytracker Pro, a Christmas gift I hadn\u2019t been able to use much due to inclement weather. I set up my gear and began capturing 60-second exposures at 55mm, aiming to stack the images later on my computer. Unfortunately, clouds rolled in, so I decided to experiment with a timelapse. It was during this process that I noticed the unusual light appearing in the sky.<\/p>\n

This light can be seen in 18 frames, indicating that it took 18 minutes to traverse that section of the sky, leaving me puzzled about what could be moving at such a slow pace. I would love to hear your thoughts on this!<\/p>\n

In my opinion, it seems too slow to be an airplane, satellite, or even a meteorite.<\/p>\n
