Details:
Last week, it seemed that asteroid Metis was close to NGC4636 and would make a nice image. However, I was foiled by cloud, but last night I managed this view. Not close to NGC4636, but still in the same field. I only managed 2 images less than an hour apart, so there is not much apparent movement. In fact it was quite tricky to identify Metis. I superimposed 2 images with the background star field in the 2 images shifted and rotated to match them up. Metis then showed itself!
