(20971) 1981 DR1 (1981 DR1) A central main belt asteroid imaged on the first evening of 2022 DS days. When photographing Aquarius NGC 6772 bipolar planetary 12mag nebula, this object came into the picture. The Eunomia family asteroid was discovered by the American astronomer Schelte John "Bobby" Bus (b.1956) at the Australian Siding Spring Observatory on February 28, 1981. Bobby Bus has discovered a total of 1683 asteroids and comet 87P/Bus. Source Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schelte_J._Bus . The size of the small asteroid is 3.73 km. Spectral class S according to the family. When photographing, the asteroid was at a distance of 1.492au and at its closest on July 14, 2022 at 1.229au. Toni photographed the color series and Kari measured L from the images as an asteroid sensor. The Milky Way posed challenges for measurement!

Kuvan planetaarinen sumu on Kotkan tähdistössä ja taustatähtien määrä kentässä tosiaankin melkoinen.
Tais kirjoittajalta mennä Aqua ja Aqui lyhytmuistissa sekaisin. Kiitos korjauksesta. Olihan tähtien määrä jonkinmoinen haaste n.10000 tunnistettua tähteä ja joukossa 2 himmeätä kohdetta.
