Double Cluster and a rock

[paulobao]

Hello,

this bad weather that I've here in Portugal put me at the desk. This time I made a animated GIF of this rendez-vous at the Double Cluster with some frames I took....November 2008. Just to not forget how to do it .

Another lovely Image from you Paulo, together with an asteroid track.

Splendid capture, and there seems to be a few other movements in the switch, other than the one you have arrowed.

Thanks. The other movements are hot pixels that appear randomly in each frame.

Yes I know the asteroid's name: (587)Hypsipyle at mag 16.4 when I shoot it.
