Picture taken from the UK on 1 August 2008 with a Canon EOS 350, 300mm lens, 2x converter and a home made solar filter. Camera set at ISO400 with an exposure of 1/250 of a second.
Warning observing the Sun is dangerous – never look at the Sun through a telescope or camera without the use of a properly secured, working solar filter.
My first Iridum flare captured on April 1, 2008. I used the Heavens-Above site to predict the position then set the EOS350 at ISO1600 with an 18mm lens and a 20 second exposure. I didn’t see the flare visually but it was bright and clear on the capture.
