Nice photos of the comet, Marco. My favourite is the LMC with the bright Tarantula Nebula clearly visible. I just noticed the streak NE of it. Seems too well defined for a faint meteor. A nearby asteroid perhaps? Only 10 seconds of movement.
The sky was really busy. I was quite astounded at just how many objects were passing across the sky at any time. Looking over the shots from the M6 there's one shot I took of the Orion constellation which has no less that six streaking satellites running in different directions in the same shot. In another picture taken with the EOS M + 22mm lens, there was five or six satellites visible in a singe image. The 6D + 85mm f/1.2L lens was more sensitive and picked up fainter shooting stars and satellites. And when I scroll through the various sets they animate and you can see some of the satellites getting brighter and dimmer and brighter and dimmer suggesting they were spinning. Only one aircraft got into the shots.
