Details:
Just after midnight on April 17th, I managed to capture some images of Asteroid 439439 (2013 NK4), which recently flew past Earth on the 15th at around 8.5 lunar distances.
I've combined my images capture with a ZWO Seestar S50 into a short animation showing the asteroid's movement over the course of approximately 2 minutes. Even in such a short amount of time, it's movement is noticeable.
I've also attached some longer exposure images I captured of the asteroid, which appears as a streak of light due to how fast it is moving through the sky.
