astrophotography cygnus/sheffield
Hi i am an astronomer/astrophotographer and tonight 11/29/05 i was photographing part of the northern sky Cygnus constellation when i saw three star like objects move north west across the bottom corner of cygnus the objects were in no particular formation and were moving very slowly(slower than a satellite but seemed as high) and then disappeared. I have seen numerous satellites in the past and know that these did not have an equatorial path as they each split up going different ways till they got to the centre of cygnus then vanished.I also know they were not of military origin as i keep upto date with all military exercises and these were too high anyway. Unfortunaetly i thought id have picked them up on my DSLR but theres no trace on the pictures .Can anyone tell me if anyone else seen the same observation
