    Point was taken from a 22 second exposure photo while watching unaided eye 
    under clear skies It came out of shadow into view just before exposure 
    started. No accurate time was taken, I show a 10 second accuracy above. Stop 
    watch not set :(  Now that I see what can be done when using my camera the 
    next time the stop watch will be set :)
    The point was taken between the 2  stars below. This was at the limit of 
    stars in exposure.
    Star A: 13:35:11.4123  +22:29:58.955  (2000.0) Mag 6.967
    Star B: 13:38:00.9208  +22:31:38.362  (2000.0) Mag 7.099
    
    Took a 42 second exposure of Iridium 66 flare to -8 magnitude 6 minutes 
    later. It was bright!!!
