Hi all, With info from Rob K. of the close proximity of asteroid mp 372 Palma to the Andromeda galaxy I had a go at it last night. M31 reaches a peak altitude of 14 degrees, and was shot at less than that for this 28x2 minute exposure image.
Also included a full size crop to show the asteroid a bit clearer.
Used Takahashi Astrograph and Astro 40D.
