The gap in the track represents the time needed to hit the shutter again! Bumps in the track are due to vibration in the tripod, especially just after the shutter is tripped.
Iridium 25 was visible for ca. ten seconds before the "flare", partially captured here. The flare was rated as -7 for this location according to the heavens-above.com web site.
