Hi all,

Here's Iridium 45 flaring at mag -5.6 as it passes M44 (the Beehive Cluster). Taken at about 6:44 pm today, with my 70-200 lens @70mm.

Cheers,
Stephen

Excellent! A chance capture or planned?

Thanks Matt. I'd received a CalSky email alert earlier in the week, so it was planned.

Cheers,
Stephen
