The three streaks that dominate the picture are out of focus. you can even see the dark centre that you would see with an out of focus image in a telescope with a central obstruction. That strengthens the aeroplane suggestion The URL that shows in the browser window while looking at the image on the web shows that the telescope is the UK Schimdt, and the plate centre is around 13h 25min, -40 ( from memory). it implied the hight and width were 60 units. what the unit is i am not sure, but it might be arc minutes.
