What is this?

[Ubiquitous2024]

Pointed my drone into the sky. Saw nothing and wasn't expecting to see much. I just about saw the Plough constellation with the naked eye before launching. The only purpose was to see what the drone saw vs my naked eye.

Other than the billion stars which I am in awe of, I found an anomaly.

ISS I presume. But not sure. First image is the unedited pic, second is darkened.

Being sensible, i have no idea but i don't think it's the ISS, most likely Musk's Starlink

I didn't know the star link had a wide horizontal thing on it?

Solar panels are my guess. But if it's in orbit I'm surprised you can get that resolution.

[Ubiquitous2024]

Its not the ISS, we have looked it up and it was completely other side of the world.

The only reason i suggest that is the second pic looks like a line of something, seeing as how starlink passed over us the other week, it looked kind og similar

What was the shutter speed, it could be a satellite moving across the frame?

[Ubiquitous2024]

I had set it all at max, I can't remember the speed but want to saw it was at one of the scale. I moved all the settings to make it as bright as possible and to pick up as much as possible.

That would be my guess - shutter open for 1 second so a satellite would come out as a short bright line.

The EXIF data will show yo the camera settings

'Setting it all to Max' has to be the photographer's version of this
