Asteroid
2004 BL86
The following picture is from
about 45 minutes of 5 minute, ISO 800 exposures. I set the 80ED telescope
over a nice set of coloured stars, and allowed the asteroid to pass
through the field of view. The following animation was made from the above exposures. This picture is a mosaic covering a larger area of sky. The gaps in the trail are where I had to reposition the scope to stay ahead of the fast moving asteroid.
