I decided to try and photograph a flare from a slightly more obscure satellite tonight. I noticed that COSMO-SkyMed 4 was going to produce a nice -1.7 flare right near Cassiopeia, so I set up and went outside. The flare lasted for about 30 seconds, which is much longer than the usual Iridium flares. I had the Moon and Jupiter on the horizon for comparison, and I immediately saw that the satellite was nearly matching Jupiter for brightness. Anyway, here's the result of a 60 second exposure:
