Ceres in Cancer March to April 2018
Approaching 1000 km in diameter, Ceres is the largest minor planet in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupier.
I had three imaging sessions during March and April, to capture the motion of Ceres as it traversed northern Cancer. This was my first attempt at imaging an asteroid
The system was centred on the star HD74185 in each session, then the three images were 'combined' as far as Ceres was concerned.
Every object in this image is below naked-eye visibility.
