Hi Kenneth I've reduced your image using Cees Bassa's SATTOOLS and other techniques. There are three identifiable satellites in the image. Please see the marked up image here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jfei5m0pdargak7/2019XS%20Trail_LST_ID.jpg?dl=0 I'm not sure what the other 'lines' in the image are but they don't correlate to objects in the amateur classfd.tle or the Spacetrack general catalogue. There seem to be some period defects in the image upon closer examination, not sure what the cause is. Interestingly, NAVSTAR 70 (USA 251) is entering eclipse during your image. The other fading up or out track may be a dim meteor. If you're interested in identifying satellites in future images I recommend taking short unguided images before you begin a long image and afterwards. A short sequence of 10s images of say 5 or so would be ideal as this lends itself to analysis very easily where tracked images tend to complicate the analysis process. Using a blink technique the satellites will jump out and if they are in a catalogue be easy to ID using sattools. Thanks for sharing the image as your scope is very nice for wide field views!
