    Well I think I captured an image on the 20th Jan 2017 of the asteroid Vesta with my Canon DSLR at  f=45mm mounted on my Star Adventurer, but it is one small dot amongst many!  I will collect a few more images towards the end of the month to see if it has moved against the fixed starry background.

      Yes that seems to work depending upon the comparative scales and orientation of the two images. Your Vesta appears just above and to the right of a pair of stars and mine below and to the left of a pair of stars. Relative mag seems about right too. On the other hand I could be lost in space. :happy8:

      Night George.
