Asteroid Florence close to the Crescent nebula


Recommended Posts

Challenging conditions last night with the full moon but I had a go at capturing asteroid 3122 Florence.
Checking on Sky Safari this was the best opportunity to photograph it close to the Crescent nebula in Cygnus, I used my old modded Canon 600d and a 200mm lens on my astrotrac to take a sequence of 3 minute exposures through a 12nm HA filter, this movie is a crop from those images.
