Re: Which satellite is this?

"should be computable" Just triangulate it. Assuming a clean fisheye lens with no distortion (roughly anyway), shrinking the bigger image to match sizes, and measuring 4 pixels (out of 427) difference in the position of the streak (southerly), that's about 1% of 180-degrees or 1.8 degrees....
