Is the Ariane upper stage visible to the lower-left or am I mis-interpreting noise?

David Swan, 2022 Jan 05 - 20:47 UTC

Paul - Happy New Year to you. Oh, I think that's just noise. The Ariane upper stage was much further away in the sky and its brightness would have been below the limit of detection of my equipment (as configured at that time). The images comprising the series were cropped such that they cover ~ 30' x 30' - David
