Ok, in an attempt to get pictures of the stars a few nights back I had quite a few pictures sitting on my camera. I was playing about with them in photoshop and something caught my eye in one of the first pictures of got... strangely enough it's also the worst picture I got.

Click the thumbnails for the full size ;)

First, unedited picture... Hardly anything visible.


Second slightly edited picture... you can now see the stars.


Third edited picture... notice the bottom right streak in the corner.


The aperture was set for 15 seconds on this picture and I am pretty sure it wasn't a plane.
 





I don't think it is a satellite, which would be my first assumption. It looks very similair to this picture I took a while ago. (exposure was too long, the stars look like crap).



The top right streak is a satellite 100%, as I saw it fly into the shot. The lower streak seems very similair to yours, however can't say with certainty as to what it is...? Though I think the tiny bright red "streak" is Mars?
