This would explain the difference in brightness for each track (pieces of various sizes), and how they all show some offset to each other (moving camera/telescope while they keep passing by). Frankly, I'm not buying the idea that this is something atmospheric. Nature doesn't like being so nicely straight and parallel on such a scale. :) CU!
