Enjoy.

On Aug 12 2009 PR1 (42m) flew past earth at 7.9 LD. I captured it on 14th just after discovery was posted by Siding Springs Survey.

Hooting past at 23 Arc Secs per minute its very feint but as you can see travelling very fast.

Wow – that is a very difficult capture indeed - well done! That is a “fully sick” and “gnarly” capture of this fast moving object.

Cheers

Well done mate,

Its great to see a bit of live cosmos action. I am very impressed with the capture of such a small, fast and faint moving object.
Way cool.

Regards Matt.
