Iridium 12 satellite flare

Iridium 12 streaks down just below Polaris

Last Thursday, Iridium 12 was making a bright, magnitude -6.1 flare in the northern sky just below Polaris, so I took its photos with my iPhone. To eliminate the camera shake in the images, I used Hugin for the first time. It seems to do an excellent job of it.
