Fantastic! When you do the animation where the camera seems to track the asteroid, is that a trick accomplished in post processing, or did you actually teach the mount to track the asteroid?

Once loaded the animation speeds up. patrick On 26 Jan 2015, at 20:20, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:
2004 BL86 just barely cleared my roof and the seeing down that low is poor but I did get these 50 10 second exposures between 0242 and 0254 UT. Hope to get better images later tonight when it's higher in the sky.
Note that the file is nearly 20 MB so it might take a while to download.

I've run it on Safari and Firefox and it worked on both. Please let me know if it does not work for you.
