About this image

Time lapse looking north covering 30min from 22:20 to 22:50. Cropped from all sky camera images and heavily compressed to make this gif

Note the very bright flash bottom right near the beginning which might be a satellite glint. See another example with this camera on the same night here. (though in this case it only appears in one 10 sec frame and does not appear to be trailed)
