Solved: What is it? Space mystery object
Re: What is it? Space mystery object #18
forum timestamps indicate that you managed to solve this in 14 minutes. maybe we need to consider to split questions in two "weight classes", "for Wayne" and "for regular people"
p.s. funny how asteroid is actually not a streak, but the dot in the very center.

Re: What is it? Space mystery object #19
This "round" edge is probably deceptive, it may be not a star/planet/moon at all. Although I checked fisheye apods, none seem to match.
Re: What is it? Space mystery object #19
ok, I'll try my luck again with this one:
Re: What is it? Space mystery object #19
A winner is you.
What is it? Space mystery object #20
Here goes number 20, a crop from mysterious sky object:
I expect this to be reasonably hard, so I made another spare crop, which I expect to post as additional hint later, but - who knows - maybe Wayne will recognize it right away.

Re: What is it? Space mystery object #19

Re: What is it? Space mystery object #20
funny you were 2nd person to think so
no, I did not. this crop was taken from greyscale image.

Re: What is it? Space mystery object #19
Wayne stated that he's "taking the image from the high-res version" (which is rotated), so there was no "change in perspective" by Wayne.
Re: What is it? Space mystery object #20
This is a good one. I'm yet to get it and I've been looking for a while now.
Re: What is it? Space mystery object #20
ok, seeing that even our search-fu master Wayne can't find it, I am posting another crop I saved from the image.

Oh well, that makes it obvious. That's...

Re: What is it? Space mystery object #20
The second crop is almost unmistakably a lens flare. Which sort of helps narrow it down. Back to the search box!

Gotcha. (Dumb luck this time)

Re: What is it? Space mystery object #20
This was a good one. I would never have got this without the extra clue. Well done.

Sigh, I was preparing myself for third crop and good laugh on this oneWayne wrote:Gotcha.

Re: What is it? Space mystery object #18
Yes, that was dumb luck that the image sequence had a satellite passing it, otherwise I don't think anyone would have got it!

Re: What is it? Space mystery object #20
You had me fooled. So that,s why i could not find a black and white apod of sun spots. that matched.
Good one makc.

Good one makc.
Always trying to find the answers
Re: What is it? Space mystery object #20
Yes you have to allow for an image to be something else too.mark swain wrote:that,s why i could not find a black and white apod of sun spots. that matched.

As usual, the APOD this image comes from is the answer. I'll run it for 3 days and then start posting clues if nobody's solved it in the meantime.
