| Name | Jake G |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I set my iPhone to keep the shutter open for 10 seconds in order to take a picture of the Big Dipper. As I pointed the camera up I noticed a “star” out of place moving slowly… I thought it might have been a planes nose gear light but wasn’t. I kept the camera pointed in that direction but wasn’t watching the screen… I was more concerned with holding steady to get a 10 second’s photo without any anomalies or “drag” on the light. When the camera was finished, I looked back up and that star was gone. Luckily, I did capture it. It was moving really slowly which leads me to believe it was traveling toward me. The photo I provided is unedited and exactly what was captured at a 10 second’s photo without exposure. |
