Visibility II / V
Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
Practice with a new shooting configuration (or really just a computer turned into an Intel NUC mini machine on the balcony).
There was no pole orientation in place, and no guide was used so the shutter speeds were too short.
Well, after all, 5 different asteroids remained in the picture (and the sixth was a little too dim to stand out).
