"Galaxies and Asteroids"

In order to minimalize the moontime on his recent visit to Anza, bigzmey (Andrey) hit the sleeping bag after sunset and arose at 1 am. Behelding a beautiful sky he started his first course of objects - primarily asteroids. He observed around 20 and even was able to catch Ceres as a disk at high magnification. The only problem being that since the seeing was a bit problematic that stars of similar magnitude also appeared to almost have disks.

Later on after moonset he focused on galaxies in Ursa Minor, only stopping with the hints of sunrise and the fading away of these objects into the brightness. Great report Andrey and Congrats on attaining the VROD for today (5-5-2023)!
