Description

My first Kuiper belt object.

Distance: 49.278 AU
Magnitude: 17.3 mag
Sky Motion: 2.58 "/h

The animation is a composite of two nights. One hour each.
Due to the fast sky motion each hour is divided into three 20-pics-stacks.
Hardly to believe this bean-shaped rock has two moons.

Hopefully Makemake will be the next one.
