Yaogan triplets in real time
Taken by Thierry Legault on September 14, 2014 @
Yaogan triplets are Chinese reconnaissance satellites flying at 1100km in groups of 3 separated by about 100km (5°). Here are two triplets, Yoagan 16 A/B/C passing over M31, Pleiades, Hyades, Orion nebula, with a flare at the beginning. And Yaogan 20 A/B/C passing over M31 just before disappearing in the shadow of the Earth.
Taken with Sony A7s and Canon lenses.
