Hello All My photographs of saturn occultation on 24 Jan 2002 have just come back from processing. In one and only on frame Saturn is flanked by two bright short trails about the same size as the image of Saturn. The time was about 2045 IST ( UT +5H30) and the exposure was 1 sec unguided at f 20( efl 2000mm). Since the tracks appear on only one frame it is unlikely that these are artifacts. A search with Skymap with hip8 shows no stars in thr vicinity. Also Allsat search using mccants.tle downloaded a few days prior to occultation also shows no sats crossing saturn at that time. What could these be?
