Had a great night east of Perth viewing 2 comets, the asteroid and a beautiful fireball that left a persistant train. Amazingly, the fireball passed right through the same field of view as the asteroid, and I managed to capture both in the same 50 mm frame.

Attached is a quick image. The asteroid is the small vertically oriented notch about 3 cm from left edge and 1 cm from top. I'll post a better annotated image later after some sleep. The image is part of a longer timelapse. Hopefully it'll show the decaying meteor train + moving asteroid.
