Summary

Description
English: Gemini North (GMOS) imaging of Asteroid 118401. This new "comet" is highlighted by the blue arrow. The tail of the "comet" is clearly seen as the v-shaped fan of emission extended from the object to the left. To make this observations the telescope tracked the comet as it moved across the sky which caused the stars in the field of view to 'smear out' into the long trails visible in the image.
