Description

Nikon D70s ISO1600 30sec Compustar C11 @f10 from New Milford, CT. Coordinates pulled from JPL and set 2 minutes ahead of time to allow the fast moving asteroid to drift into view. This was my first capture of an asteroid and getting an occultation in the middle of the frame within the 30sec exposure and without wind seemed like a million to 1 shot.
