Comments: This is probably the prettiest image I have made of Vesta. Vesta glides by M8 over the next couple of days. This is a double exposure showing the movement in a 30 minute period. 5x30 second lum. exposures were taken. I then took 3 minutes each of RGB. After I took 5 more 30 sec lum. images. All were stacked on the stars to give movement to Vesta in the lower right corner.
