Aeroplane?

Don't trust my own eyes... want to believe its something else but logically think it's an aeroplane.

Correct?

Yup, looks like a plane alright. You can clearly see the regular blinking lights.

An aircraft would have left a larger trail. My guess is that its a satellite. The regular blinking lights could have been caused by the sat's rotation / tumble.

Mmmm interesting.

this was a 15-sec shot though, not sure if that helps

Whatever it is, nice shot of the Big Dipper. Would be better if you can just squeeze in Alkaid in the right for completeness.

Re-cropped with Alkaid to complete the Dipper

Hi everyone! Caught a meteor on Monday at abt 11pm at Changi beach.

Was there over the weekend to catch the camelopardalids meteor shower which was in vain though.

But fortunately got to catch one on my camera whilst doing long exposure photography of the stars during one of my regular stargazing sessions earlier this week.

Whilst i left my shutter open via remote, I happened to be doing smth else and something prompted me to look up in the sky and that's when I saw a reddish streak of light whizzing past. Being my very first time witnessing it live, I was surprised of course. And as an icing on the cake it was even captured on my dslr as earlier mentioned. After coming to my realisations, I quickly closed my shutter to view the shot.

(P.s kindly ignore the glare which is the light pollution from the walkway lights; the bottom right. Contrasted photo and they appeared even more apparent.)

Very nice! Congrats!
