Description

NASA's DART mission impacted Didymos' moon on or about September 26, 2022 causing a debris plume to trail off the small moon.  Just messing around I imaged 251 x 30 seconds of  Didymos with a RASA11 and an mono ASI6200mmP. Centering on 2022_10_19__031131PDT the scale is @ 1.255"/pixel I stacked approximately 180 images in PixInsight. Very little processing has been done aside for typical image calibration, as one could tell.  The inset shows the stars removed using PixInsight's Cometalignment process.  The images have not been oriented correctly.
