I got a lucky space shot

[Tractor]

While taking some 30 second shots of the constellation Orion I was lucky enough to capture a satellite or meteor in the field of view. In astronomy we call these Iridium flares. Named after the Iridium corporations satellite cell phone network.

hehe I had the camera mounted parallel with my scope. Thats the upper end of its tube.

I was doing that for tracking since I was taking about a 5 minute shot and you don't want the stars to move.
