Venus, Regulus, Mars, Saturn & Iridium 72

Hi all,

There was a nice Iridium flare at 6:07 this evening in Brisbane. Predicted mag was -7, although I don't think it was quite that bright. Anyway, I was able to fit it in the same field as the Venus-Regulus conjunction and Mars and Saturn. The second image shows the planets a few minutes after the flare.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen
