Friday night I tried imaging the Witch Head Nebula near Rigel. Conditions were a bit murky to be honest.
Of course it passes through the area of sky where all the geostationary satellites live so I created a 140 frame animation of what looks like a cosmic superhighway.

You can just about make out where the Witch Head is because of the absence of stars.

Great Scott! I thought it was mostly full of stars!) Love the bit where a whole cluster go past, wonder how close they really were.
That is pretty cool Mark - not seen that before - nice one - John.
PS - look forward to seeing Witches head - I love that Neb...
Good idea and quite a revelation too. It's getting quite crowded up there isn't it !
They don't look very geostationary to me :lol: :cheesy:.
