About this image

Having seen Martha Argerich at the Proms on Saturday night I thought I would have a go at imaging her asteroid. It is currently conveniently placed and relatively bright at 18.5. The asteroid was originally designated 1998 YH2 when it was discovered by ODAS in 1998. It was designated (56067) Argerich in 2025. It is visible here as a short streak having moved about 15 arcsec over the 30 minute span of this stack.
