Crossing The Veil

Hi all,

Here http://www.astrosurf.com/santiago/dsongc6992.html you can see a
NGC6992 photo with an Atik 16HR.

This photo has a curiosity. A Commercial Airplane crossed one frame
of
15 minutes, has you can see by the parallel lines (wings ligths of
Airplane in this photo
http://www.astrosurf.com/santiago/ngc6992_airplane_big.html : 2
Right-
of-Way lights + 1 white navigation light). But the
major curiosity is that the flashing central light, light once time
and
illuminated the 2 engines - That is visible on the down right corner
of
the photo.

Great shot Mario! 8)
And a very interesting catch, the one with the airplane engines...

Thank you for sharing!

Really nice image Mario!

Interesting catch on the airplane engines. I guess it just shows that the central flashing light must have been a really fast strobe to not blur the engines.

What would be a nice intellectual exercise would be to assume a reasonable speed for the plane. Compare it to your image scale and derive it's distance from the camera and the apparent time duration of the strobe.
