Reimann Iridium 75 failed (-6
mag)
Another
flare, which encouraged me to drove a distance of 30 km to the east. As usual it was some
effort to find a suitable place. I brought my photo camera as well and
together with the moon it should become a nice picture. That worked as you see on the
right.
In the last seconds before the flare appeared I adjusted the video-
camera. The flare appeared so quick, that my work came to late: You can see that in the
movie.
It was a pity to drive so far (there and back and searching a place needed
some time) for this poor result. So I decided to drive only for flares with -7 mag and
when there is a bright star close to it. Well, I am still waiting for this opportunity,
but with the winter stars in the next months it should be possible.

Taking the movie was not so
successful:
The motion above appears
slower than in reality.
