The typo in the thread title "starling" had me all pumped up to see a starling bird.My buddy got this pic on his trail camera at our land. Starlink is all I could come up with.View attachment 1281201
Probably more likely a meteor. IMO, It is moving too fast for Starlink.
Have yall ever seen the Starlink? Zoom close and you can make out individual points of light in that line. I'm agreeing with the OP.Satellites are fast but not that fast. You can use apps like Heavens Above to track when satellites and the space station will be coming over you.
The ISS is really easy to see with the naked eye as long as it's pass is high enough above the horizon. I watched it come directly overhead yesterday around 6:20am.
update you fixed the typo. Regardless it is a cool looking pic!The typo in the thread title "starling" had me all pumped up to see a starling bird.
It ain't like this would be the first time I was w-- ww--- wwwr----, you know that thing that ain't exactly right but might be under the proper circumstances.Have yall ever seen the Starlink? Zoom close and you can make out individual points of light in that line. I'm agreeing with the OP.
Hold on, let's not get ahead of ourselves. That's a drastic measure.It ain't like this would be the first time I was w-- ww--- wwwr----, you know that thing that ain't exactly right but might be under the proper circumstances.
That's a possibility, but i think if that line were a jet, the shutter would have been open for several seconds to record that length. The deer would be blurry from any movement.Satellites don't blink and if they did, you would see the spots of the blinking without the line connecting them.
It would just look like stars in a picture
Airplanes and jets blink.
And how many times do you think they would blink in the short span of the shutter being open?
Correct. I don't think it's a jet either.That's a possibility, but i think if that line were a jet, the shutter would have been open for several seconds to record that length. The deer would be blurry from any movement.
I agree with you that no single object in the sky would look like that. But the starlink train is MANY objects.Correct. I don't think it's a jet either.
I say bug.
No way a moving object in the sky would cover that length of distance while the shutter was only open probably a hundredth of a second.
A bug closer to the camera that was already at speed when the shutter opened produces that type of image.
Seen dozens of them...
I don't think they're listening. I went back and enlarged the op pic and can now see the "beads on the necklace".Yeah I saw starlink this past summer and the actual picture is clearer than my pic of a pic. You can clearly see the individual spheres in the pic.
Y'all shooting that many tracers ?This is exactly what it looks like to the naked eye. Or a trail cam...

But it only looks like a line of dots when the individual many satellites erupt from the main carrier. They soon disperse and I don't think their flight paths are related to each other except for that very short period of time.I agree with you that no single object in the sky would look like that. But the starlink train is MANY objects.
