    Hi all,
    
    Fundamental optic questions are obviously a topical subject, therefore :
    
    Terrestrial impacts of many iridium flares fall on the sea, quite close 
    to the shore  not far from my home.
    I climbed to a cliff along the sea and tried to photograph huge iridium impacts
    which were calculated as centered a few hundred meters from the seashore.
    Untill now I did not succed.
    Is my trial a complete utopia ?  and why , due to optical laws ?
    Rob ?
    
    Many thanks
