How could that happen???

Here you can also see it on this photos. May be it can be helpful.

When I looked at the photos to investigate if there is any shooting star I saw something was moving through one picture to another. The strange thing is it is not like an ordinary satellite (or ...

Of course! You can see it on previous recent submissions.

So when you make the video with smallest duration of the images, you should save the video and then open it and from video...
