It was a pretty cool night with being able to get a faint glimpse of the Lagoon Nebula. During the long exposure filming of the Nebula, a solid lit white object flew down past it at an angle. The brightness reminded me of the ISS, but at the time the photo was shot at 9:12:35pm, the ISS was below the horizon for me.
I did check SkySafari Pro for any other satellites that may have zipped past, but there were none at that time and angle, so I don't know what it was. The white object couldn't be seen by eye and definitely wasn't an airplane as you'll see from the comparison, and it didn't look like a meteorite or comet to me.
The white streak was a 13 second shot with F6.3 and 3200 ISO at 200mm, while the airplane streak was at 3.2 seconds at F5.6 & 1250 ISO at 150mm.
Anyway, Saturn was in the South, Jupiter in the SW, and in between the 2 of them was the Lagoon Nebula in the band of the Milky Way.
