Hehe - the Iridium flares are pretty fun to watch.  I got a nice picture the 
other morning of one with the crescent moon low in the sky below the flare in 
the same frame.  There's a pair of them about 9 minutes apart on Thursday 
morning from here that I'm making plans to photograph - I just hope the two 
trails are far enough apart on the image.  One is a -6 flare, the other a -7 
flare.
