Odd Red Streak

  Not sure what this red streak is, whether it's the galaxy from the side with the yellow in the middle as the heart, or if it's just a glare.

  I believe it is a moving satellite. The images are made through blue, red, and green filters and take about 5 minutes to complete. The satellite caught some light during the red exposure, it would seem.
