Double Iridium flare this morning

Hi all,

We had another double Iridium flare this morning at 4:54. The two flares, at mag -7 and -1, were separated by only 19 seconds so both were visible together. I captured both of them in the 42 second exposure below. This was using the 70-300mm telephoto at 70mm - probably would have been better with the wider angle lens. Will try 50mm next time!

Cheers,
Stephen
