About this image

Was intending to image Nova in Cassiopeia and waiting ( in vain) for the cloud sheet to break up. Suddenly became aware of a chain of satellites above and behind me . Swung the Camera round which was at the time mounted on my Super polaris mount and pressed the remote release and Prayed. There were two trains of Satellites and the magnitudes they attained was verging on 1 . They could be seen plainly though cloud. Constellation that they were passing through was Bootes and tracking just below Arcturus
