Description

To seen is the movement of the distant Kuiper Belt Object 2002 UX25
(55637) 2002 UX25 is a classical KBO also called Cubewano.
The duration of the movement is about 3 hours.
Also to seen is the photometry of the transit (Asteroid 2006 RE5 / Star 2MASS 031045754+0906577)
When the asteroid reaches the star the brightness rises about 0.4 mag. 
As the plot shows, there are some lacks in the data due to wind gusts.
The ascending curve is nicely to seen, but the descending part is absent, because I had to trash 7 frames ruined by wind.
PS
Rev C shows a strange object flying through the fov. I have no idea what is it 😊
