Description

Hi everyone! I am happy to share with you a rare celestial event I captured through my telescope. The dwarf planet called Ceres passed in front of the Blowdryer galaxy (Messier 100) last Sunday, and I was able to capture it.

As a total I collected a little more than two hours worth of exposure time on Sunday, and part of captured frames were used to build an image of dwarf planet Ceres. The result was added to a 4-hour exposure image of the Blowdryer Galaxy I captured on March 14, 2023.
