Description

To seen is the KBO (20000) Varuna, 
4 Main belt asteroids (magnitudes : 17.5 - 19 - 19.9 - 20) 
Quasar SDSS J083924.30+270134.0 (the most distant Quasar I found in my images so far:-)

Total exp-time only 75 minutes, under mediocre sky conditions.
Rev. B shows the movement of 3 asteroids and Varuna.
The movement of Varuna is very little, almost not visible, because of the enormous distance of 6.43 billion km, and the only 4.4 km/s orbital speed.
