Early this morning I took this shot of the Tarantula Nebula.

56x60s@80 on my Dwarf3.

I only stopped because of something weird.

The green line is clearly a satellite - not a problem. Annoying, but not a problem.

The question is "What are those broad red streaks?" They seem to have appeared in a single frame, and so were less than 60s in duration, but they are very broad. If all three were aligned, I'd say it was a passing jet, but the bottom one does not line up. Despite that they all parallel to each other. And to the satellite path.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have identified the satellite at least! It is a Russian Glonass unit - Cosmos 2534.
