Description

Recently, I decided to check out some of my old raw data files to see if i had captured any asteroids. To my surprise, the raw data for the Sombrero galaxy (M104) that I captured back in May2020 contained many asteroids of varying brightness. While many were not visible in the images, I could still resolve a quite a few up to magnitude 19, so i have also attached a small video of one of the brighter asteroids moving through space which i cropped from the image. It can be seen near the bright star located in the lower right hand corner of the video. This asteroid is designated 33944 2000 MA and was discovered on the 16th June, 2000 by Paulo Holvorcem in Valinhos, Brazil.
