I was under the stars on the driveway New Year's Eve. I had dragged myself off my sick bed (sick couch, actually) as I wanted to try out my new tripod accessory (??) and capture some images under the clear skies.  Later when I checked my frames of M42, I had a Satellite passing right through it. Strangely this is not the first time I've had this - actually its the third. Must be busy out in space.

I wanted to capture a few images of different objects to see what exposure times would be like at F/4.
