The Asteroid (387733) 2003 GS during the total lunar eclipse of 2014-04-15.


The Asteroid (387733) 2003 GS during the total lunar eclipse of 2014-04-15. The idea was to take advantage of the total lunar eclipse get useful images of a "desirable" NEO. The moon position was within 25 degrees from the imaging target ((387733) 2003 GS).... if this was a "normal" full moon It would have mostly likely been too "close" to get "good" Images.
