Double Flare with Double Planes

I spotted a double flare on HA and, given clear sky, setup the SatCatcher for it. I haven't used this in sometime, circumstances have meant the opportunity hasn't happened. Anyway, I caught both flares, even though they were very low in the west. This is close to the airport approach and departure paths so o chance of it being clear of aircraft. I got two of them. I'm not quite sure what's caused the large light spike, possibly internal lens reflections, I quite like it though and feel it adds something.

Afterwards the sky deteriorated fast so that within an hour Venus looked no brighter than Rigel. Ho hum again...
