2002 NY40 seen from SPOC
Very nice view for a dozen or so of us of 2002 NY40 tonight using the Ealing at SPOC. First time I've ever detected movement in an asteroid. Fun show. Patrick

Hi, No pictures this time. Was having too much fun just watching it and showing it to others. It really was neat to actually SEE it moving. I've never seen an asteroid move before. However, during a close pass of another asteroid last year I took bunches of images on three consecutive nights and had them spliced together into a "movie" that shows how the apparent motion increases as distance decreases. See it at the bottom of http://planet.state.ut.us/slas/patrickw/patrickw02.html . Cheers! Patrick Jim Stitley wrote:
