Hi all
In going over the image I took the other day I found an asteroid!

Image was taken on 7/08/2005 7:02:36 PM Aust. East. Standard Time to be precise.
Anyone care to try to identify the asteroid, as Im not sure what one it is.

Thanks
Scott

No idea Scott, but great catch. Bit of a thrill isn't it.

BTW Go to work. You have too much spare time on your hands.

Nice find Scott.
Tried this myself the other night, 03.08.05, and can't find it there.
I agree with Paul, though, too much time on your hands.

I don't know about the Asteroid,but the Supernova first discovered in March is still visible in both images, quite incredible. astroron
I have just attempted to check with the IAU Minor Planet checker on the Supernova search site,but it would not give me any info for that time
