ATIK Color Horizon (OSC) camera and Hutech HEUIB-II filter with a Sky-Watcher 190 Mak-Newt on a Celestron CGEM DX mount, unguided.
Single captured sub showing an Iridium satellite flare right in the middle of my Antenna Galaxies imaging session.
Enjoy!

I've never seen one photographed. Did you use an app to predict this or was this just luck?

There are web sights that give those predictions. I don't remember right off, but if no one else chips in, I will look it up.

Totally luck! It was simply captured in one of 55 subs while I was imaging the Antenna Galaxies.

Nice capture to Brian.
And you can get the apps for Iridium and ISS on Google Play in your Phone.
I have both of them.
