Arp1 w/ 326 Tamara

Arp 1 / size 2.3 arc min / mag 12.2

Asteroid 326 Tamara / mag 13.5 / moving left to right / north up

Captured on March 10, 2008 between 12am and 2.30am

LX200gps 7"mak @ f/10 w/ DSIpro2

Minimal processing, lost focus due to temp changes over unattended run of 14 X 10 min subs so said the heck with it.

Asteroid capture was consolation prize. :)
