wreckage of Iridium #33

It was on time(according to Heavens-above.com) but moon light almost washed out seeing it.

It was also naked eye-tough at times, but definitely the wounded satellite I’ve been stalking the past few weeks.

My image is very crappy, but you can barely see the streak going from the lower left to the upper right of the frame.

Vega is the bright star on the lower right, and the head of Draco can be seen on the left as well–albeit messy with noise.

I’ll keep trying.

ISO 800

50 seconds
