What is it really that worries you ? That I inform that Mr. Steine has 
found at least one identical, weaker trail on the picture after the 
copyright text was moved out of the way. A trail that, if it is real, 
strongly supports the theory of Dr. McNaught, that this is a result of 
movements of the telescope rather than a meteor ? Because that is what I 
did.

In case you have not noticed, the original photo was already published on 
Mr. Oeyes web-site. So there is hardly any reason to ask his permission to 
put in a couple of circles. So, rather than telling you where the second 
trail was in terms of centimeters or inches up and down, left and right 
(adding the image scale to make you able to find it demepning on the size 
of the print or screen used), you got it with circles to spare you time. 
And you are, for some odd reason, dissatisfied rather than pleased. 

So what is your problem really ? And your point ?

By the way, I know about hot pixels. If you do find (almost) vertical 
groupings on the mountainside which are the same length as the major 
trail, then I suppose you get yourself a better screen and printer. The 
one in the circle is exactly the same size and direction as the bright 
one. Grouping og hot pixels. Give me a break !
