Description: This picture of Wolf 359 was taken with an astrocamera of 1.040 mm focal distance. The red dwarf is well discernible a little bit above the center of the image. It shifts toward "four o'clock" each year by bare five arcseconds. This means that the star's position in this picture from 21st of March, 2009, has already not any more been accurate in 2010. - The picture spans over 16 × 12 arc minutes. One pixel is equivalent to approximately 1.5 arcseconds. North is upward, east to the right.
