Description

This a fun one. I have been having a hard time getting any imaging going from my remote setup due to weather and equipment issues. However, one of rare nights where I got some data, I noticed a little moving "Star" when blinking through the subs. Digging around it seems like I caught an asteroid. This is my second one when shooting DSO (The other one is with the Trifid Nebula).

The Asteroid is faint and comes from the bottom of the frame. I wish I had more frames, but given the conditions, I am happy there is something to play with
