Asteroid 2004 BL86

[Davide Simonetti]

A shot of Asteroid 2004 BL86 which passed us on the night of 26th January 2015. This was the first time I had seen an asteroid so I was very pleased to have captured a few shots. This image is made from 31 x 10 second exposures at 6400 ISO with 19 dark frames. Processing was done in Deep Sky Stacker (using one of the comet modes) and some final tweaking in Photoshop.

Nice catch. No luck here, alas

Nicely captured.
