Comet c/2011 L4 and Asteroid 437 Rhodia

[jjjnettie]

I took a few 5 minute exposure last night of the Comet and to my surprise there was an interloper in the photo. Starry Night didn't show any other object in the field, so I sent the image over to Terry Lovejoy to see if he could enlighten me. (thanks for the quick response Terry) :)
It turns out it was Asteroid 437 Rhodia. Oh well. But still it's nice to have the two in the same field of view. :)

A very nice “twofer” Jeanette, showing what a dynamic and busy solar system we dwell in.
