It was such a beautiful and clear day in Houston, I decided to to check out satellite overflys. After a minute there was the realization that two were going over at the same time. I have four minutes to set up and catch it.

Moon at top left, Orion at top right. To the lower left of center is the Hubble Space Telescope heading West to East, and just to the right of center is an Iridium flare, number 56 I believe, heading North to South.
