Are there any budding astronomers on here. I have a strange (IMO) night sky picture which I cannot explain.

Very amateur!

If there is something odd you can’t place, why don’t you download skywalk 2. My best app I have and great fun checking out the night sky!

Could be Ulloas penalty ball

I entered the raffle at a meeting of my local astronomy club.
I didn't win the £500 telescope but won a jigsaw puzzle of Ursa Major and Orion the Great Hunter. It was the constellation prize.

Don't take this personally but 'Ulloa's penalty' posts are so poofy.

Cause it is a bit abnormal.

Download the app star tracker, might help identify what you're looking at.

So you should be. You're so much better than that shite.

Yeah if it’s a pic can you post it up?

Shite, but made me chuckle.

Can you crop a section of the lines in the second image, and export the crop full size? (ie. 1:1)

More likely Obika's overhead

Looks to me like Pleiades mid right, with M35 open cluster mid top left. Given the little trails maybe a 40s ISO, so that would be plenty of time to get those clusters in a pics.

Elon Musk has got something called Starlink doing stuff up there.
It was my initial thought before the pics were posted.
However from previous sightings it looks like Starlink shows as a straight line.
Are we sufficiently North to see the trails as they appear in your pic?

I can’t believe people read that rubbish and think someone can tell them what sort of day they’re going to have, based on what day they were bloody born 50 years ago, really....
