Hello Tristan,

Nice picture!
Inave imaged this triplet many times, but always as strays when imaging
other sats in NOSS like orbits.
They were mostly S and have sometimes a small variation in brightness.

You have been lucky to image them in at the right moment when the
sun-sat-observer angle was right for producing flares.
