Or could be called: Pointing to Andromeda!
Nice indeed.

Good shot! Did you catch the flash by accident, or did you use one of those 'iridium flare' predictor programs?

Nice.
Going to have to give this a go soon

I use an app on my cell called ISS Detector, I made a simple mount to hold my phone on the tripod,
and use a digital angle gauge to point the camera at the right area of the sky. I need my phone there
as it counts down the seconds to the flare, I can be sure to trip the shutter in time to "catch" the show.

Saw one couple night back. Was very very bright. Like Venus bright.
