I thought I would post this other shot of the Milky Way (approx. from Perseus to Cepheus) that I took at Spectacle Lake on Wednesday, September 24, 2008, 10:01 pm (using my camera’s time stamp).

This is the early-fall Milky Way in the north part of the sky, including campfire smoke at one end, and two mystery streaks, either 2 meteors or 2 Iridium flares, or, perhaps one of each. I didn’t witness the passing of the objects that left the streaks; during most of the time I had the shutter open (for 10 minutes), I was too busy in my lodge room, watching the Leafs lose to the Penguins.

Anybody have any suggestions as to what the streak are? Meteors? Bolides? Iridium Flares?
