Details:
I accidentally caught asteroid Myrrha while capturing Leo Triplet. This is the first time I captured an asteroid. While I was checking the light frames, I realized something moving in the middle of the images.
It wasn't easy to identify the object. I tried Astrometrica but couldn't manage to work it. So, I manually calculated the location of the object and using this information I found it on the MPC database.
