Click on the above image to scroll through 8 frames of this starfield as the asteroid moves across the field.  North is up and East is to the left. These are subframes of larger images.  The images were taken sequentially but not in equal intervals. The first two frames were each 20 seconds.  The last six frames were exposed for 30 seconds each.  This is a region in the constellation Capricorn.
