Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
One of the “Big Four” asteroids, 3 Juno , in Virgo, about 3 weeks after it was at opposition. It appears here as the small streak above centre due to its orbital motion over the 80 minutes of accumulated exposure time of the image. This was April 24, 2020.

The faint galaxy at left is NGC 4688.

This is a stack of 8 x 10 minute exposures with the Canon EOS Ra at ISO 800 through the Astro-Physics 130mm apo refractor at f/6.
