A pair of Iridium Satellite flares in Cygnus.
This double Iridium flare took me by surprise - luckily it was just about where my camera was pointing at the time! The brighter flare was around -5 Mag.,and the other,which was around 0 Mag. @ Peak brightness was chasing it,lagging behind by a couple of degrees. Since it was starting to get light,I had to end the exposure earlier than the 15 minutes I had planned(!?!) for it... The negative ended up fairly over exposed and a pain to correct in photoshop!
