Details:
Asteroid (99942) Apophis during the closest (before 2029) approach. The weather forecast did not bode well for a clear sky, but the clouds left about an hour before Apophis' closest approach to Earth (time of closest approach is 01:06 UT https://iawn.net/obscamp/Apophis/ ). I was able to observe it remotely. I made this image-stack from 61 photos (unfiltered, 20 sec. exp.) taken with remote telescope (0.355-m f/6.2 Schmidt-Cassegrain + CCD) of Abbey Ridge Observatory on March 6, 2021, from 01:02:38 to 01:32:16 UTC.
