It's hard to believe, but this year the weather gods had a heart for astrophotographers just in time for the Perseids. I also had my modified DSLR shooting one picture after another until the morning.
However, when reviewing the 1000 or so photos, I came across a problem:
How do you distinguish shooting stars from the tracks of satellites?
I've seen some photos in the media where I strongly suspect that a satellite was photographed instead of a shooting star. Does anyone know what characteristics are important?
