[APML] (OT) Asteroid collides with M104? <g>

[Philip Perkins <philip@astrocruise.com>]

While processing my images from southern France I spotted this one:

(Animated GIF: 861 Kb - apologies for the size)

The Megastar database shows no asteroids or comets in the vicinity at the 
time.  However the databases aren't very current and it seems doubtful that 
this could be something "new".  Any ideas?

The sequence is quite interesting because it looks as though the asteroid 
is on a collision course with M104.. <g>

Full info is on the above web page.
