Iridium Flare: Adelaide 8.10.10

Bright Jupiter (bottom of frame) is the locator device, generously provided by Gods of Serendipity. This picture is direct from a Nikon 50D, 28-200 lens at f10, 16 sec. 'bulb' exposure, no filtering or processing.

Predicted (CalSky, iPhone GoSatWatch v.1.5) event times were spot on.

First try; hope to get better at pointing so as to be able to improve magnification.

Any advice from seasoned sages (this may well be a tautology..!) greatfully welcomed.
