Iridium-ISS double pass

Hi all,

Early this morning (22 July) we had a mag -6 Iridium flare followed a few minutes later by a mag -3.3 ISS pass in the same region of sky. So I had a go at capturing both, and combined them in Photoshop.

Focus wasn't great, but here's the result...

Cheers,
Stephen

Brrrrr, you were keen getting up early this morning.
But it was worth it. Thanks!

Cheers,

Nice one Stephen.

Its not a common event to get two such passes close together.
