After capturing my Time Lapse of this Trio, I exposed the shutter into more longer exposure (8 sec) and still able to capture nicer image of the Waxing gibbous Moon, Venus and Saturn. However, I see a lot of light streaks I research on it but I was not able to get an answer... So Earthsky community scientists and astronomers please help me identify those light streaks. I know they are not planes... I zoom those lights streaks don't have gaps in between just like the one when I capture meteors.

Photo was taken at 6500 ft. above sea level.

EF16-35mm f/2.8L III USM, Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, Manfrotto Tripod, Canon Trigger release

In Photoshop I just increased the contrast, sharpen, and denoise.
