FINAL UPDATE: Asteroid Iris and M104 6th May. Image added from 6th May
Hi

I was on Space Weather yesterday, where an interesting encounter was described between M104, the Sombrero Galaxy and minor planet 7 Iris.

Here is a screen print from The Sky 6 Pro, set for Tuesday 6th May at approx 8:45pm showing the close encounter. FOV is approx 30x20 arc min.

Cheers

Dennis
