Description

I thought it would be nice to get a second day showing the movement of Vesta relative to the background stars. I didn't get a full night the first day, so it's a bit short. The second night was a full eight hours of L data.

As before, this is the beginning of what the Wiki says about Vesta.

Vesta is one of the largest objects in the asteroid belt, with a mean diameter of 525 kilometres. It was discovered by the German astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias Olbers on 29 March 1807 and is named after Vesta, the virgin goddess of home and hearth from Roman mythology.
