TritonAntares: It is Adrastea, read the above posts. It appears large due to overexposure so the camera point spread function blurs a point source into a finite smudge and it's further elongated due to the long exposure smear. The moon is nowhere near the size suggested by the image pixels.
John: Ah yes.. forgot about the 4x4 binning mode for faint KBOs. I assume this 1x1 binning was also sort of a test to see how stable the pointing remains? It does appear to me the streaks are longer than 4 pixels, but nothing major. -------------------- |
