[John W (John Wilkinson)]

Nov 17, 9-37 pm from Castlemaine, Victoria. I knew an iridium flare was due tonight at this time at 192°S and 12° altitude. Set up my canon 550d on a tripod and set it to 15 minutes exposure at 400 iso. Captured this image of the flare. The two bright stars to the right of the flare are the pointers.
The grey sky was due to the moon being up at this time. Thanks for viewing. Thanks to Mark for the info.
