Last night was an astrometry fiesta.I captured Lacrosse 3 (97-064A, #25017) during its 19:40 UTC pass, crossing Delphinus. Following this I captured USA 129 (96-072A, #24680) as it crossed from Pegasus into Andromeda. The images were heavily fogged by moonlight and the trails marginal, but measurable.In addition to this, I bumped into a potentially new main belt asteroid while searching for TNO's in the NEAT image archives. I am still in the process of prying and measuring more images out of the archive in order to get enough nights to submit it to the MPC.I was quite tired last night, so I stopped early and am in the process of continuing astrometry this morning.
