RE: re: Little help on object observed last night

I dont know. Neptune is obviously a sphereical object and it is about 2
arcsec. Ceres is the largest asteroid and is almost 1 arcsec so it
probably can look like more than a point source.

Granted it is the largest asteroid at around 590 miles in diam.
