green line

    The line is less defined than others I've seen. Is it a satellite trail?

    Yes, it is - the resolution in this image is not as good as some of the others.

    Happy Hunting!

    Ooh, that's a good one to use as a test on the satellite trail finder program we've been working on (so that we can try to mark these in Talk and elsewhere). It's nice and faint so it will be a challenge for the algorithm. Thank you!

    I think a line finder basic program could easily mark the trail 😃

    "Green sabres" - how easy is it to identify green satellite trails, from PhotoObj parameter values?
