The idea was to take a photo with Fomalhaut and Mars starting at a certain
wide angle. It is what has to do everything by hand. Just before shooting
the camera I had not seen anything, but right after.
Between the haze and the light pollution and the few details with wide
angle, little has been left to see. However, it may be useful to make a
first estimate.
I looked for some prediction in Heavens-Above and in CalcSky, but nothing.
By HeavenSat: mirror 31.4º, 148,9º in magnitude around -0.5 ((However, this
is a new generation iridium)
FocalLenghtin35mmFilm: 42 mm
Exposure: 16 seconds.
