Asteroid 2012 DA14 over Manchester

[Chris S]

Made a shoret video of the asteroid as it passed over Manchester. As you can imagin it was from a very light polluted spot about 2 miles from the center. I took a series of images with a canon 1000D with a 100mm f2.8 lens set to 2.8.

I took 92 images and after a lot of processing to bring out the asteroid from the skyglow made them into a 6sec video.

That's one of the best videos i've seen yet...actually the best one. very nice bit of time lapse i assume.
