Description

Two images flashed containing Pluto, which is fairly obvious, and 1793 Zoya. Zoya is a 16.3 magnitude bit that is streaked in both images and fairly far apart. Look left a little above center. I can't really see it in this image but will post a much more stretched gif that shows it.

That stretched image really isn't pretty. This image was taken from my suburban driveway with a streetlight 30 feet away that was manually shielded. Excuses, excuses. I noticed Zoya when I was trying to get Pluto in the frame. Sky Safari showed an asterism I wanted to use but I couldn't locate it. I finally clicked on the "stars" to see how bright they were and discovered one wasn't a star but an asteroid that 1) was moving and 2) was far, far too faint to see in short framing shots.
