Neumayer-Station, Something Stationary in the Sky in the Night Images. Anyone know what it could be?
I've been checking out the Neumayer Station cams for awhile now, and I've been seeing this thing in the footage at night time which is pretty much just stationary in the sky.

It looks like a star sorta but it looks like it has 2 objects off either side of it. Ya can't see it in the daytime whice makes me think it could be possibly in space?

I dunno what it is really, Any Ideas anyone?

I uploaded a image to Imageshake:

Object outlined: [link to imageshack.us]

View it yourself at the Neumayer Station site: [link to www.awi.de]

Main Page for the cams at Neumayer Station: [link to www.awi.de]

Edit: It sorta looks like/reminds me of this - [link to create.weejewel.net]

Nah, it dosn't move the entire night... And it looks the same in about the same position like every night I've been checking it out for the past week.

First glance I thought it could be a space station or satellite going by, but then I saw it wasn't moving. So I dunno :s

looks like one of the two comets that are supposed to grace us with their presence this month. But it does stay in the sky day and night.

Yeah and since it's not viewable in the daytime it makes me think it's outside of the planet.

Not saying it is that or anything ha, But that's what it looks like

That's my new pimped ride on its way. I ordered it two years ago, and it's just now getting close. Can't wait...

That definitely looks like a Tie Fighter!

Or is it the 6.5-ton satellite that's supposed to crash on earth soon?

Go to 2:40 on the video.

There is a LARGE body and a smaller body a little below it that may be part of what you found.

BTW, why were the scientists at the beginning of this video in what appear to be fairly heavy duty radiation protection suits?

i'm pretty sure it's a lens artifact from the reflector on the station. it had my eye for a while, but i watch that feed too much for it to get by me, haha. i think it's a 'newer' artifact because they've upped the amount of light that reflects toward the camera, either intentional or random chance. they did do some work or something to the post that the camera is on around the same time there was a large buzz about nuemayer.

I thought it could be some light reflection on the lense or something too, but if you watch when a cloud passes in front of it on the video it disappears behind the cloud and remains there when the cloud goes away.

It's odd

OP, it doesn't move with the Stars, as in sidereal movement, nor does it move with the 'weather' (clouds), nor with the Aurora.

I 'guess' would be that it is a defect in the CCD camera plane itself that has not been fully 'dark corrected' out.

There seems to be times when it fades out with a certain amount of 'average' brightness' of the scene or 'sky'.

Well there is something going on there, because there have been so many threads about it.
And its not only being talked about here on GLP.

Is there any chance this is related to the object, (which is getting bigger), that is being seen in nz skies?
