Planetoid 68 Leto in the Pleiades

[Avdhoeven]

Planetoid 68 Leto passed between 14th and 17th of March 2012 through the Pleiades star cluster. This planetoid has a size of about 122 km and can be found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. After making some images of the Pleiades I saw that there was a planetoid moving through the field of view, which showed to be 68 Leto. The magnitude during imaging was about 12.4.

Cool, I'll see if I can get a glimpse of it. How far apart are your exposures?

Wow, that's amazing

The images are 2 minutes apart. So you see a total of 14 minutes here....
