Although the picture is very lively, yet I was lucky. The flare since it starts from magnitude +4, until it ends out of sight hardly lasted no more than 10 seconds. The luck was that despite seeing the magnitude +4 satellite pointing the camera decided for trying, and I was surprised to see how in a matter of 1-2 seconds passed magnitude to magnitude +4 -2, so I did not hesitate to tighten shutter stabilized well even without the camera. The clock did not have it synchronized, so it will take about 5 seconds, but apart nor the timing seems to go well, at least when I follow the OTV4 previous times seems to be around 40 seconds, the better follow him on his position in the sky, but nevertheless, in its universal time it is 05/23/2016 21:11:23 To find the position in the sky, the triangle of stars HR 5567, HR 5550 and HR 5575 can be used to determine the start of the outbreak approximately. The mirrors make about the beginning, (42.1º, 140.7º) maybe could have started from (42.2º, 140.6º) and end (41.8º, 141.1º), continuing as anti-flare exceeding brightness with magnitude +3, at least until (41.5º, 141.6º). It can also not be in the mirrors, but just in case.
