3 military satellites  or ?
When I was Integrating ngc2244 subs I noticed the High pixel Rejection map showed three trails each around 33-arcsec long in a period of 38-minutes; what are they?

Maybe it's geostationary satellite.

What is your latitude? You can check this graph...

(complete article here - in spanish)

...and see if the declination of the area corresponds to the geostationary belt from your latitude.

Regards,

Enzo.
