Iridium 83

Most disappointed I didn't get to capture all of this -8 Iridium Flare at 21:46 last night.. clouds continually rolled through and I didn't see the satellite until it was already quite bright, and it disappeared into the murk just as quickly.

Such a shame, it would've looked nice against the background stars.. oh well, there'll be another time.

Sirius is the bright star at the top of the image.

20s exposure @ ISO400, f2.5, fixed camera tripod. Curves adjusted in PS and noise reduced in NeatImage.
