About this celestial object

A wide 3.2° search field peers for the subtle motion of asteroids.

Asteroids betray themselves as moving points of light among stationary stars; large, uniform fields boost the chances of a find.

Transparency and seeing suffered at 73% humidity, yet the long series raises the limiting magnitude and reveals even slow drifters.

About 3.2° × 3.2° at 250 mm f/5, totaling 7300 s.
