Asteroid (582) Olympia - EAA

#1

Post by Xio1996 »


I was drifting through Leo when Cartes du Ceil showed an asteroid nearby, so I stopped and took a timelapse. Loving EAA!

Asteroid (582) Olympia. A sequence of shots centred on the asteroid (stars move). Sequence starts 12th March 22:51 UTC and ends 23:45 UTC. The central star being passed by Olympia is HD89431, visual mag. 8.9. I like the field rotation of the image.

Olympia was visual mag. 11.8 at a distance of 1.2481 au, moving at 21.6 km/s. Olympia is 44km in size.

Sequence captured with CPC 800 (alt-az), F6.3 reducer, Hypercam 294c. 5 sec exposure, 72000 gain, 2x2 bin.No processing other than stacking to create the animated gif.

I believe you click on the image to see the animation.
