[APML] OK What the He** is it??

["Jim Janusz" <jjanusz@dc.rr.com>]

 Hi Ken and Volker and everyone.

 Yes I did notice the faint trail.  The shot was from about 2:30 to 4:00 AM
 on Friday the 10th of May.  Astronomical twilight was starting around 4:45.
 Do you think the sun may have glinted off a satellite?  An irridium flare
 would have a longer bright trail, right?

 This low in the south what type of satellite should I look for?

 Thanks all.

 Jim
