Ceres Crosses M100

Image from last night using my AP900GTO mount.  Dwarf planet Ceres passes in front of spiral galaxy M100 on the night of March 26-27. Ceres is about 13.3 light-minutes away from Earth while M100 is about 56 million light-years further out.  Image shows Ceres every 30 minutes from UT 00:22 - 06:52 on March 27, 2023.  Larger image and exposure info are on Abin at https://www.astrobin.com/2qrbdj/   Thank you AP!

Ceres is not quite 1000 km in diameter and is the second largest dwarf planet.

GREAT capture, Sydney!
