Description:
Double flare from Iridium 59, not forecast by Heavens-above 🙂 captured accidentally on Aug. 10, at 20:39 UTC, from Mt. Amiata, Italy- I had to dig into Stellarium to figure what satellite it was, and indeed it is the 59. Just below one of the flares there is the Andromeda galaxy.Total lenght of the trace, 2 minutes.
