06 - Iridium Flare and Cygnus
Ross Lake – Haliburton
I used the Heaven’s Above website to determine the time and location for this iridium flare for this date. Since I could see that the Iridium satellite flared between Vega and Deneb and I knew that I would be able capture that area with my camera. I was just a little late and I only caught it just as it flared and a bit after, although I would have preferred to capture the whole path of the satellite. They are tricky little devils to catch.
