Eris (2003 UB313) - 19th Sept from Brisbane

Hello,

I've been meaning to grab this "new" dwarf planet for a couple of weeks now, but poor weather has thwarted me. Last night we had a (temporary) break in the clouds and between sets of cloud, I was able to grab 3 x 10 minute exposures and managed to capture the mag 18.78 body.

Several PGC designation galaxies are scattered throughout the field, which is approx 16x10 arc mins.

C9.25, F6.3 Reducer/Corrector, SBIG ST7E, Prime Focus, 3 x 10 min exposures.

Cheers

Dennis
