Rocket Fuel 2.3

This week I chose to do the picture of the Orion and the stars within it, and it also contained a mysterious cloud that looks like a rocket. Upon further investigation, it was discovered to be a fuel dump from a booster rocket that was used to put a satellite into geosynchronous orbit. The time-exposure photograph made it appear like a comet, as it slowly drifted across the photograph.
