Summary

Description
English: Three images showing the Uranian satellite S/2001 U2 (Ferdinand). The full CTIO observation set are sub-divided into three batches that were shifted at the rate and direction of the motion of Uranus and then recombined. The satellite is indicated by the circle in each image and can be seen moving from left to right. The elongated features in the images are stars that have been smeared out by the shifting process.
