Cool 
Nice capture!
What equipment did you use? What is the approximate amount of time covered by the animation?
There is 1h 44m between image one and two and 43m between two and three

Tom,
That’s a fair amount of movement for just around 2.5 hours. Also, magnitude 15.8 is a decent capture for this light polluted area (I’m assuming you imaged from somewhere in the OKC area).
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who enjoys chasing these little objects around the sky.

That is a zoomed in section of the original images. I live in Yukon so yes the skies are not super dark
