Satellite Marathon - 24th July

I decided to set myself a challenge and attempt to image all the satellites brighter than mag 3.5 passing over tonight. I nearly succeeded. I missed the early ISS pass, HA appears to have been 3 minutes out on the ISS all night, and I didn't work it out till the second pass. The first couple are there, in the middle of the image, but they are damn hard to see (sorry the sky was really bright and I can't process this side of things). I was fighting clouds, low flying aircraft and windy conditions.
