Details:
The debris trail from DART's impact on Dimorphos was clear on images last night despite the bright Moon 37 degrees from it. This view is a stack of 62 images each of 15 seconds exposure taken between 03h57 and 04h23 UT as the double asteroid tracked northeast a few degrees north of Sirius. The field here is 6 arcminutes across and the trail more than 1 arcminute long. North is up. 315mm f/8 DKT and QSI camera.
