Description

just found out from a fellow amateur astronomer Stu at SGL that in one of my images of the Horsehead and Flame nebulas there is a small light trail from a big (120 km in diameter) asteroid passing by at the time I took the picture. It orbits the sun every 6.2 years and is named 225 Henrietta
