Image added from 5th May
Hi
Here is an image of the asteroid “7 Iris” passing close to the “Sombrero Galaxy”, (M104) as viewed from Brisbane on 5th May 2008, from 7:34pm to 10:10pm.
Images acquired with Vixen 4” F9 refractor and SBIG ST7E CCD camera. A total of 48 sub frames were stacked to show the motion trail. Sub frame exposures were 3 mins each.
The closest approach is tomorrow, Tuesday evening.
Cheers
Dennis
