A journal, sometimes a live journal, of my astrophotography adventures in northeast Wisconsin

A bit of excitement at the observatory this week, but not over excitement.
It is common to find things passing by in astrophotographs from time to time, especially satellites, but when they move as slow as this across a frame, you have to be on your toes to find out what it is.
There are many new discoveries made by astrophotographers, but also many astrophotographers dont look deep into their frames and miss the boat altogether leaving the object to be discovers by someone else.
This is as scientific as it gets these days for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers.
This little object Im sure is an asteroid, but one can never know unless it is checked out by other astronomers with an observatory.
This might also be a non discovered asteroid as well so its good to have it checked out as there are many potentially dangerous rocks out there.
