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.
