Satellite in Orion

I made this awhile ago, but forgot to post it.

While I was taking photos of M42, something passed across the field. I’m pretty sure this is a geosynchronous satellite.

Each exposure is 20 seconds long, with about 10 seconds between them. The entire animation covers the span of about 2 and a half two three minutes, depending on the real timing.
