Waiting for Perseids: Iridium Flare near Cassiopeia and Andromeda


Photo taken with Canon -eos 500D, f 18mm, f/3.5, 15 sec.

In this picture we can see a -8 Magnitude Iridium Flare from Iridium 10, passing near the constellation Cassiopeia and the Andromeda Galaxy (that can be seen as a fuzzy dot in the horizontal center in the first quarter from bottom)
