Hi All,

Imaged on the night of 20 May.

Nice and close to M4, just in the FOV of the camera.

You have nabbed Asteroid 437 Rhodia too.
I'll be posting a pic in a tic for you to reference with.

And another little one as well, usually the processing removes them. I'll do a quick animation tonight.

Cheers
