Description

I read somewhere a while ago that Asteroid 4 Vesta would be in Taurus for this winter and spring. So, when we had suitable weather for hunting this relatively dim object, I shot a long series of photos from the dark central region of Taurus. I had to work on this somewhat harder than before, but I found Vesta quite quickly. It was definitely there, as a comparison with Cartes du Ciel sky maps soon confirmed my guess.
