Details:
Three satellites passed through the same part of the sky within 2 minutes. Iridium 90 flared first, followed by the passage of Tiangong 2, followed by a flare from Iridium 13. I covered the lens for about 1.5 minutes in order not to blow out the image due to encroaching twilight.
Nikon D3100, 30 second exposure; 14mm f/2.8 lens.
