Animation of #Asteroid #Flora approaching #NGC3628 the #HamburgerGalaxy in the #LeoTriplet 7th, 8th & 9th April 2025. Imaged from #Oxfordshire with a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor + #Canon1100D Moonlight has been a real pain!

This week #Asteroid #Flora passes across #NGC3628 the #HamburgerGalaxy in the #LeoTriplet. This video shows its position from 8th-13th April. The galaxy is faint so moonlight will make it difficult visually, but it's still a decent imaging target. This is just a line of sight effect! #AsteroidTransit
