2004 BL86 from last night
Author Last Post
It was very fast. I have not had opportunity to measure the movement in the frames. But the ephemeris data from JPL indicated a rate of 0.58 arcsecs/sec in RA and 2.01 arcsecs/sec in Dec.

Willie,

60 @ 10 secs each. So all this movement took place over 10-11 minutes? I had heard it was supposed to be a fast asteroid.

This is the result of 60 x 10s exposures combined for a 10 sec movie. I dont know if a movie can be uploaded to website or not. If so, I will prepare a streaming version for that purpose.
