Orbital Ballet - ISS and two double Iridiums
Submitted by:
Ulrich Rieth at Thu Jan 9 23:56:01 2003 UTC
This image shows the most prominent spacecrafts one can observe from the
ground.
Two Iridium satellites (59 & 90) flared within 4 minutes at -2 and -3
magnitudes.
But not enough, during the same 4mins the ISS at -0.5 magnitudes exactly
crossed the flare site.
And still not enough, both Iridiums flared again only 30 seconds after the
main events.
Really a unique event that happend on 2002 Dec. 10th.
Exposed using a 28mm lens at f/1.8 for 4 minutes on Kodak Elite Chrome 400.
