Eris from some very old data!

 Back in late October of 2015 I eyed up Mike Brown's lovable Eris.  Originally called Xena by Mike when he discovered it back in 2005 - https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/dwarf-planet-formerly-known-xena-has-officially-been-named-eris-iau-announces-1187

 

Nearly a decade after its discovery I pointed my 14" at it and found it quite an easy target over three nights.  I wish that I was more through and timely with my sorting, processing and indexing of captures and images but here's the final animation.
