NGC 253 and NGC288

 

This close alignment of objects can be found in the constellation of Sculptor

The track of the Rivet 3 standard instrument arrival (or STAR) at Sydney international airport
being a path that arriving airliners follow on their way to final approach
is also directly aligned with this patch of sky ( viewed from the
Observatory from which this image was taken).

It takes the concept "photo- bombing" to a new level.

Satellite trails also add to the ever increasing cacophony of "light" noise which Astronomers
and Astrophotographers are forced to deal with.
