You may have noticed the jet sneaking into the frame as a streak of light emerging from behind the house peak. Jets weren't the only things interfering with my astrophotography attempts. The photo below shows another jet and two satellites.
Jet on left, stable satellite in the middle and a tumbling satellite on the right |
The changing brightness from not visible to bright as Venus is indication the satellite that left the dashed line is tumbling out of control with a period of about 5 seconds.
In the photo above, the light paths were cropped (and in the case of the tumbler, rotated for composition purposes) to show the differences in the light trails they leave.
Venus was bright enough to cast a shadow and did a admirable job lighting up the lake during the 30 second photo below.
