Been pushing my telescope to the limit by recording dwarf planet Eris - the remotest body in the solar system in this 15 min exposure.
Eris [disc 2003] is larger than Pluto [disc 1930] but twice as far away eg 100-times further from the sun than earth so it's very cold out there!
The picture is shown as a negative for clarity with a comparison shot of the same region of the sky Eris currently occupies taken at Mt Palomar in the States before discovery. Eris is a tiny faint dot moving extremely slowly against the background stars and takes 560yrs to orbit the sun
Eris, in Greek mythology, was a spiteful godess who caused wars
With so many new dwarf planets in the outer solar system astrologers must be confused
