Description

Video of asteroid 3792 Preston

This is an extremely cropped view of one of the targets I was imaging. I happened to find this asteroid in my image, and went on a journey learning about it for a few hours. 
This is from the main asteroid belt and was discovered in 1985. I calculated its speed to be about 44,000.54 MPH OR 19.67 Km/Sec.

It is approximatelyt 3.21 miles in diameter and has a sidereal orbit of 3.47 years. Defintiely worth a quick look at the small body database lookup!
