Ha cool image! Ive mistaken these for meteors quite a few times... and disappointed some shooting buddies no thats not a shooting star its a satellite catching the sun lol.

Yes When I saw my photos the first time i thought it was a meteor too but in the sequence you can see the satellite start to show up then half way across the cameras field of view the satellite flares up than dims out and keeps moving away until it disappears from view. This Satellites are fun to catch :-)
