Description

While working on a deep field image of NGC 2683 and its neighborhood I've noticed a relatively bright 16m asteroid near the galaxy. MPChecker identified it as (4547) Massachusetts. Revision B shows the asteroid flyby. The clouds did not allow to image on the night when the asteroid was at nearest position.

Thanks for looking!
Vitali
