That’s an awesome video. The orange/reddish ribbon of light at 3:47 is interesting - a busy highway?

The orange/reddish ribbon of light at 3:47 is interesting - a busy highway?

I'm pretty sure (but not 100% positive) that is the Great Wall of China - it is visible again at the very end... maybe illuminated by a rising/setting sun?

I think you may be right. The bright "island" to the right would be Taiwan. Amazing stuff!

Also check out the bright moving light at 2:49 to 2:54 -- I'm pretty sure that is the reflection of the sun bouncing off the ISS back onto the earth. This is the bright light that you can see when the ISS travels overhead just after sunset or just before dawn. Absolutely the brightest thing in the sky! Check out www.heavens-above.com for times when you can see it at your location.

Thanks for sharing, the coolest thing to me was the lightning.

Amazing, that one is going into my "Good Stuff" folder. I noticed the illuminated squiggley line at 3:48 also, had to back up and look at it again. Curious as to the "low light camera" specs. Kind of wish they would give a direction and location for each scene. Had to do a lot of guessing.
