Details:
While hoping for a Geminid fireball to cross the camera's field of view (but I was out a day too early due to weather constraints), I noticed something really bright right above me and I sure enough here was an Iridium flare ! And close to Sirius too, giving an even better idea how bright these flares can be. :-)
19-second shot at 14mm focal length, F4 and 2500ISO taken with a Nikon D810A + Nikon 14-24mm F2.8.
