This is Globalstar M023 and not the wreckage of Iridium #33 like I wondered earlier.
The flash intervals were five seconds apart, and the bowl of the Big Dipper can be seen in the upper left of the image. It was graciously ID’d by one of the satellite guys. Thanks!

It’s hard not to know that 40 years ago we walked on the Moon.
Above is an older Moon photo I did about eight years ago with a crappy plastic Holga camera held up to the eyepiece of my 3 inch refractor.
It’s a film shot that I keep stowed in a small scrapbook, and one of my favorite Moon pictures even though it’s not that good. Probably because it truly reminds me of that era, before digital stole our souls and when we were daring explorers in space. We are still daring, just daring with more red tape stuck to us.
Happy Anniversary Apollo 11!
