Found some of these guys feeding in a tree in my backyard.
Pretty little birds, but a bit noisy.

Thanks for looking

NEO 2007 TU24

Posted By Stuart Thomson
Hi All,

Got my last go at this tonight, tomorrow it's over the Northern horizon.

Very close to being over the North Western wall of the observatory.

This is a combination of two pics, one 30 seconds, and one 120 seconds.

Taken with an SBig ST-10XME, unguided on a Meade 10"RCX at f8.

The little beast is moving quite fast!

Cheers
Stuart

Can you get too much of a good thing?

Nope.
