    Canon EOS 450D + EF 50/2.5 Macro @ 2.8 or EF 100/2.8 Macro USM,
    800 ISO + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.

    Second part of last evening's observations: gathered with the EF 100/2.8 macro @ 
    1600 ISO.
    
    Again a clear slow brightness variation of the object from image to image.
    
    TERRA (EOS AM-1) (99-068A), which a.o. carries the ASTER and MODIS sensors 
    well-known to Earth scientists, was captured as a bright stray in one of the images.
