Details:
Cloudy night, wonderful opening. This early morning a double flare passage was predicted for my location, but the sky was overcast till half an hour the passage times! What luck! The first, composite, picture records the Orion constellation, Jupiter in the high right corner (Aldebaran in Taurus is also visible) and Sirius in the lower left one. And in the middle, the two bright -8 magnitude strikes of Iridum satellites 55 and 96! The other two photos are the original strikes that I used to create the first picture. All pics taken with my Nikon P90 Digital Camera, ISO 100, f3.2, 8 exposure, at around 6:00 am local.
