Flora passes Leo's Triplet

Although near full moon in the night from 11th to 12th of April, I could take this stacked image of Leo's Triplet. My main intention was to show that Asteroid 8 Flora is really passing this constellation. Within the 3 hour window it shows its presence by the dash on the right side of NGC3596, while all stars rest as points.

DWARF 3 Smart Telescope, (700 mm Tele) Equatorial Mount. 400 pictures with 30 s exposure time each.
