Flare, Rocket and wide

I got out for a little while last night. As the sky was getting darker and managed to snag another Flare. Iridium 4 this time (on the 450d).

Then I was lining up to take a couple of widefields I saw a faint dot shooting across the sky and managed to snag that to. The image is very noisy but I can't do a lot about that without losing the satellite track. Turns out is was Cosmos 2360 Rocket, although as I'd forgotten I'd set the camera for GMT, I originally thought it was Lacrosse 4.

Then I snapped a few widefields.

And these all contain Corona Borealis (I think)

This camera is so much more sensitive than the Z2, it's quite astonishing.
