Description

This is an animation of asteroid 1999 RM45 over 4 hours. This asteroid is a small near-earth object, and you can find out more about it here:

It was moving quite quickly so I had to switch guide stars fairly often.

My setup's image scale is 0.73"/pixel, so it isn't ideal for taking astrometry of something that is moving quickly. I would have switched to hyperstar on my HD14 with a piggyback guider if it wasn't so much work.

This is composed of 35x 5-minute exposures.
