Internatiional Space Station and an Iridium Flare in one capture.

Went down the local river last night with the plan to get a long exposure of the Space Station pass over and an Iridium Flare in the same shot. I was hoping to get the ISS coming over the horizon but someone was Lamping across the river ( blue light lower right) and kept shining the light across the river which ruined the first few exposures. The ISS went into the Earths shadow as it was a late pass over. But mission accomplished. 8 x 30 sec exposures in total were used.

You should submit it to EPOD.

What is "Lamping?"

@moabman a really bright torch (flashlight ) shining into the eyes of the local wildlife. Makes them stand still freeze before they get shot. Mainly rabbits around here

Ah, thank you. Here it's called shining and it's illegal.

By the way, I like "torch" so much better than flashlight. Maybe I'll adopt this word in my own vernacular so that only the secretary in the front office will understand me.

Us old farts call 'em electric candles.

Good shot, I have took pictures of the ISS myself, and when you get it right, like you have it does look good.

Thanks for the comments @paul04 and @480sparky, do you think it is worthy of sending in to EPOD?

You can always submit it. Acceptance is up to the site owner. I've had three shots accepted.
