Hi Guys, I was out last imaging, and although the night was clear and crisp I some how missed my target and did 4 hours on a star field instead of the target that I had planned to image.
However that is an other story, but I do have a strange object in this star field, the stars are round but this thing is a moving object of sorts and was wondering if some one could shed some light on it.
I was imaging the Rho Complex, but missed the target
The exposure is a combination of 16 frames at 7 minutes each, a total of 112 minutes, Taken on June 24th from 9.10 pm to 25th June concluding at 1.35 am
One frame was ejected because of poor seeing and that is the break we can see in line of the final image.
Please see below the original widefield, and then two cropped images out of the widefield
The top right hand corner star is Beta Scorpii.
It was a minor planet, 144 Vibilia, it was 12th magnitude and by my reckoning you took the image on the evening of the 24th, roughly between 10pm and 2am EAST. There were at least a dozen other asteroids in the field at the time but none brighter than about 15th magn.
looks like glens on to it, this area of the sky runs right through the ecliptic, therefore being on a plane with the planets and as such all the asteroids, its somewhat unavoidable if you shoot in that line.
it makes it interesting though
Yes Troy I think he did , so I have just added that to the original post, and Glenn I think you might be right as the time i was imaging is in the time frame that you have mentioned, thanks guys for your response.
Nice shot there, Leon. An asteroid for the collection
Although, you could say....queue the "Twilight Zone" theme....maybe it's really a "Grey" mothership coming to pick up all their lost comrades out at Area 51
but I do have a strange object in this star field, the stars are round but this thing is a moving object of sorts and was wondering if some one could shed some light on it.
