Description

When blinking through 30 frames on M20 shot from

2017-06-20_224242 to 2017-06-21_013323 CST, I seem to have caught an Asteroid (may be). I need to figure out how to check other databases to pull it up.

Created a Animated gif showing the movement.

Each frame is a 5 minute frame shot with 5nm Ha filter.

EDIT: Thanks to user Happylimpet for helping with this. Apparently of the following set of objects, it is probably Hermentaria . EDIT2: Confirmed that this is 346 Hermentaria
