Asteroids (4) Vesta, (29) Amphitrite, and (113) Amalthea

[SiriusDoggy]

I captured these images on the evening of 02/21/2021 and the early morning hours of 02/22/2021.

All three asteroids are currently in the constellation Leo, making them easy to image on the same evening.

Asteroid (4) Vesta is currently at magnitude 5.9
Asteroid (29) Amphitrite is currently at magnitude 9.1
Asteroid (113) Amalthea is currently at magnitude 11.05
