Iridium 36...

Hi all,

Was mucking around with the pointing accuracy of the telescope lastnight and figured I would try for an Iridium flare while I was at it... Taken through an 8" f/4 Newtonian. Single 120sec exp.

This was a -5mag flare from my location, the satellite went from the bottom right to top left. Almsot spot on.
