About this image

The Centaur Bienor. It was a bit past opposition at mag 19.

A reasonably dark night with occasionally thin cloud passing though and messing up the transparency. The object was faintly visible on 5 frames but, as it is slow moving, I was able to use 40 and most the images overlapped. Really, I need to get the OAG going. But too much else is going wrong.

Superb. Thanks for adding another to my bucket list.

I stack on the average movement by fudging the WCS in each sub. Did you do that?
