[Chaos-l] [Medoc-mountain-men] FW: Spotting Asteroid YU55

[mark63clegg at aol.com]

Jayme,

I also noticed that.. I believe the gray-white clouds you are talking about is actually part of the detail present in the GRS that night.

These are awesome shots Mark. It almost looks like the grayish clouds are 
assing over the red spot. Am I imagining that?

 may try if I get time.. since I have not been tracking it.. I will ask.. what 
ime is it set to pass over.. I have read it will be very dim and hard to see. 

 

 did get some excellent views of Jupiter last night and some good images too. 
t 485X using the 3.7mm Ethos, at the times of steady seeing, I could easily 
ake out detail on Ganymede and hints of detail on Callisto. And the planet was 
ull of detail...See the images attached.

You going to try to see it tonight?  Since this is the annual CHAOS meeting 
here we setup our scopes and let the residents of Carol Woods look at things, I 
hought I would try ... although I don't expect I'll see much ...

 just plotted the path on Sky Safari......i found the asteroid with a 
earch and then centered.  Then I hit time forward.  It was really really 
EAT to see it track across the display, try it if you have Sky Safari Plus 
r Pro.   
I updated my minor body data while ago also.  allen

Well, a few things are going to make it difficult: 
1) Tomorrow night is the Carol Woods observing session ... not a dark site 
) The moon is pretty close to full (97% illuminated) 
) While S&T says it is mag 11, some say it is "coal black" 
) Various reports say the ephemera will change slightly as it passes 
But the Clear Sky Clock is predicting good conditions, so we'll just have to 
ake a shot.  I'm planning on dragging The Mistress out tomorrow to the 
eeting ...

his is the closest approach of an asteroid since the 70's and there 

shouldn't be another like it for 20+ years.  Sky and Telescope has 

some good info on spotting it.  It's a mag 11.1 so it's reachable at a 

dark site.
