Hi all, Last night I made an attempt to film the two objects from the recent Iranian launch: NOUR 1 and the associated QASED upper stage. I had two passes low in the North-Northwest, so not ideal, even though the sky was very clear. The payload NOUR 1 was not seen. But the QESED Upper Stage was successfully imaged.
