These are images of Eris, or "Planet 10" a.k.a. 2003 UB313.
They were acquired from my home observatory on September 25th and 28th and October 1st using an SXV-H9 CCD camera
on a Vixen R200SS 8" f/4 Newtonian reflector, equipped with a Paracorr.
Note that this object is exceedingly faint, at about 19th magnitude. It is smaller than Earth's Moon, and is 97 A.U. (about 9 billion miles) away.
It takes 557 years to complete one orbit around the Sun.
The image dated 2005-09-28 represents an hour of total exposure time, consisting of 8 eight-minute exposures stacked to increase the signal-to-noise ratio.
All processing was performed using AIP4Win V2.
