Description

Thought this was weird. During a 60 sec image of M42 a satellite flew through. Actually a bunch are in the shot; GEO's moving along the belt. Then DrunkSat comes in from the north. Look at the atmosphere caused wobble! But, what seemed strange to me was that the GEO birds didn't seem to show the magnitude of the wobble that DrunkSat showed. Weird!

Also, the pixel scale matched with the length of the GEO birds trail matches the correct length based on the orbit. Kinda cool.
