Hi folks:
 
  Chanced upon HST while preparing for 2 morrow Suitsat high pass. Did 
not  know it was HST ( I dont expect ISS) when i spotted the bright sat 
moving pass below Orion and I watched it sailed across Canis Major and 
viola - it outputted an  iridium-like flash - mag -4/-5...and continued 
its journey eastwards. So can  the flash from the telescope optics?

  A quick visit  to HA confirmed the identity.
