11/21/2005: Iridium flare

But why do they look like long streaks and not bright flashes?

Much better than the EPoD picture, UT. Nice job.

The way the shot is exposed almost makes it seem like a time-lapse photo. I dunno...

The stars are streaks so i must be at least a short time lapse.

Maybe the satillites are moving up or down.

Time exposure in much lower light than it would appear to be in the final photo.

I've spent a lot of time outside looking for predicted Iridium flashes, but haven't managed to see one yet.
