Can someone explain to me what caused the dotted trail? It is the most unusual satellite trail I have ever captured in one of my pictures. (Actually, you can find a very well-defined satellite trail at the bottom left...).

A raw picture with the red filter of LDN 673. The picture is monochromatic and on the top of the dark nebulae and star field there are two lines: one, on the bottom left, that clearly corresponds to a sattelite passing by; the second, going all the way from the top to the bottom, is not a continuous line, like a "normal" satellite trail, but is a dotted line, which is kind of awkward.
