Details:
An Iridium Flare of mag -7.5 shined over Pisa this morning, before sunrise. I wasn't sure if I would manage to catch it, since the incoming light was more and more present, but the magnitude worked in my favor.
The planet Venus is also visibile, and high in the picture, but almost disappearing in the sunrise light, the Pleiades star cluster.
