Hi,

Looking for something to image when the moon (http://www.astronomyforum.net/wiki/The-Moon) is up.

Try some iridium flares, from the iridium group of satellites. This image is of two of them 39 seconds apart.
The top flare is iridium 94 and bottom iridium 23.

Here's a link to Heavens above. Heavens-Above Home Page (http://www.heavens-above.com/)

You just need to plug your latitude and longitude in and you can plan your imaging around the timings.

Equipement.

Canon 1100D, nifty fifty lens.

ISO 100 at f/4.5 90 sec exposure.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Laurie!

This is only the second time I've seen an iridium double.

Cheers,

Justin.
