1 comet and 3 asteroids in a summer night


For this animated GIF I needed to get a lot of FOV. I wanted to capture the rendez-vous of comet C/2007 W1 (Boattini) with 3 asteroids. So I put my Canon 40D in the small Takahashi FS60 to get a 4+ ยบ FOV. Lot of fun to get this one in a summer night at a small village in a dark sky :-).
