This was a surprise, my observatory cam caught the second stage fuel venting from the SpaceX Falcon 9 NROL-69 mission.
Imaged with a Player One Neptune C colour cam with 100° lens 20 second exposures using Sharpcap, timelapse created in PIPP.

Re: Aliens?? No, it was a Space X fuel dump!
Hi Douglas,
very nice, thanks for sharing
I have to check my all sky camera when I get back home - it runs automatically, but I can't easily check the videos while away. Maybe it might have picked up the event on the 24th, but perhaps the view to the North isn't good enough...
cheers,
Robin

Cheer's Robin,
It was a very lucky capture, I had set it in that direction for the Lyrid's next month!
