2010 TD54 animations
by Patrick Wiggins 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

A couple of "movies" put together from images I shot during this morning's approach of minor planet 2010 TD54. Paramount ME, Celestron C-14 operating at f/5.5, SBIG ST-10 binned 3x3 with clear filter. Field of view is about 18x26 arc minutes. The target was rotating quickly during both sequences which is "reflected" (pun intended) by its rapidly changing brightness. Mount set to allow the target to pass through the field of view. 16 five second exposures shot between 08:51:51 and 08:54:04 UTC. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/2010td54-01.gif Mount set to nearly follow the target. 23 five second exposures shot between 09:01:27 and 09:04:39 UTC. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/2010td54-02.gif patrick

I got it on the same day as well. I love my new Comcast Broadband. An honest 20mbs and no downtime, (yet). I hate the "Smartzone" and need to relearn to use Outlook.

Jupiter and Io Fri 10-15 8:48MDT to 11:40MDT
by Canopus56 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

In the early am hours today (10-14 2:22am to 4:00am), I enjoyed a single Galiean transit of Jupiter by Io as Jupiter was setting. The Oct. S&T at 58 and the RASC Handbook shows a nearly identical Io transit on Oct. 15 (Friday) beginning at 8:48MDT while Jupiter is rising. The events in UT time are: 10-16-2010 02:48 Io Transit Ingress Alt 32 Az 129 10-16-2010 03:26 Io Shadow Ingress 10-16-2010 05:02 Io Transit Egress 10-16-2010 05:04 Io Shadow Egress Alt 45 Az 185 Additionally at 9:57pm MDT, there will be an lunar occultation of star ZC2997 by the Moon. For those of you with video setups, this is an opportunity to attempt to image and plot a lightcurve illustrating a binary with an 0.3 arcsec split. Raw Occult 4 output for this event is day Time P Star Sp Mag Mag % Elon Sun Moon CA PA VA AA y m d h m s No D v r V ill Alt Alt Az o o o o 10 Oct 16 3 57 38 d 2997cF0 7.2 62+ 104 29 206 31N 17 356 30 2997 is double: AB 7.94 8.04 0.21" 134.5 2997 is a close double.

Two more 2010 TD54 related items
by Patrick Wiggins 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Two more 2010 TD54 related items. During yesterday's approach I captured two other objects that passed through the field. This shows the better of the two and consists of 12-five second exposures taken between 06:06:28 and 06:08:07 UTC. No idea what the other object is. I jokingly call it the "interceptor" since for the first few frames it looks like it might be heading for 2010 TD54. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/2010td54-03.gif And here is a montage of 5-five second exposures taken at various times during the approach showing how 2010 TD54 appeared to speed up as it grew closer and made longer trails. The last frame shows a distance of 129,000 km and moving "only" 735"/minute across the field. I say "only" because MPC shows when at its closest it was 55,500 km away and moving 3,861"/min. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/2010td54-04.jpg patrick 718
