This photo from June 9th, 2020 of M109 appears to have captured a celestial event nearby. The camera exposure setting is 15 seconds so the object is not in motion since no streaking is present. The illumination of the object shows a nice Gaussian curve. I'm guessing a Nova event? The picture is timestamped in UTC time in the upper left corner. Update: The rotation of the object is just detectable. This is a satellite flaring in the sunlight. The short duration is very unusual. Most flares I have captured last for several seconds.
