Asteroid 15 Eunomia crossing the California Nebula

[melsky]

Taken last night during a period of 2 hours 48 minutes from 21:25 onwards, the nebula is a stack of 48 images with just the first and last frames positions of the asteroid animated.

Usual kit, Canon 550D with 200mm lens mounted on an Astrotrac. I missed YU55 due to the weather so thought I'd better have a go at this one.
