Title: Accidental iridium flare capture @ Cairds
Post by: Carole on May 18, 2015, 22:48:01
I accidentally captured this (which I did not see) whilst I was fiddling around trying to get a decent FOV, it was just a short test image to see what the FOV was like.

QuoteWhat time was this taken?
The sub finished at 22.55.15 and it was 32 seconds long, so the flare was somewhere during that time in the SW.
