Asteroid |
Description |
1116 Catriona |
My first asteroid lightcurve measurement. I was so-o-o-o green, but even a rank amateur with persistence can achieve useful results. |
27496 (no name) |
A faint asteroid, also one of my first. The results are not very trustworthy. |
1016 Anitra |
Bright, fast, easy, fun! |
808 Merxia |
A bright asteroid, a beautiful curve. |
471 Papagena |
A fast rotator, bright. |
582 Olympia |
Moderately bright object with a 72-hour rotation, making this VERY difficult. Multiple observers have worked on Olympia. |
2283 Bunke |
Faint (nearly 15 mag) but fast (4 hours). It pushed my skills and equipment to the limit. |
