M83 and temporary visitor

With a cyclonic gale blowing (which resulted in over 100 SES call-outs) I have to say the seeing last night was appalling.

But it was clear. Hence I did a late night imaging run on M83.

I often register and animate successive sub-exposures to see if I caught any moving interlopers during an imaging run...and often come up blank, but not this time. Asteroid
405 Thia made a guest appearance.

My point being, if you don't check your data, you might possibly miss often catalogued, but you never know, maybe uncatalogued, NEO's worthy of further investigation.
