Default Astro: The Amazing Randi -- the asteroid that is

This is the last photo I took before my filter motor came completely
loose ruining everything after it. Even this had problems needing a
photoshop pseudo flat.

I figured on only catching the one asteroid but ended up with 4 of them!
It's a busy part of the belt it appears. Randi is the bright guy at
mag 14.4. Down near the bottom to the left is (64097) 2001 SP334. The
minor planet center says it is 19.2 but I get 19.4. The other one near
the bottom close nearly below Randi is (66395) 1999 KS12 at magnitude
19.2. Then near the right edge toward the top is (130751) 2000 SH274 at
magnitude 18.4. It turns out I barely missed another out of frame at
the top.

A piece of tumbling space junk came through one of the shots. Since I
wanted to pick up the moving asteroid I used average combine thus
leaving it in.

image), STL-11000XM, Paramount ME
