Observations of Comets and Asteroids at TZEC MAUN H10 (New Mexico) during a

bright Moon night by J. Linder

 

My first scheduled time to observe at TZEC MAUN was on January 3 of the New Year.  There was no way to observe here at Corner Observatory B50 of Germany.  At this day or night at H10 it was clear but a strong Moon brighten the Night Sky very much.  So I look for some Objects far from the Moon or is bright enough for imaging near the Moon.  I had the Big Mak for using, the 35 cm Maksutov with a focal ratio of 3.8.  The CCD is a SBIG ST 10.  I took images of 30 P/Reinmuth, 81 P/Wild, 2007 Q3 Siding Spring and a field includes Minor Planet 383 Janina.  First a image of Comet 30 P/Reinmuth, it’s a stacked image by Astrometrica for better visibility.  For the Astrometric work could use the single exposures, because of a good SNR (Signal to Noise).  The next images are from the Comets 81 P/Wild and 2007 Q3 Siding Spring, showing a bright inner Coma and a fine Tail.  No image of Minor Planet 383 Janina, because it’s bright and a Point only.  This was a Test and I’ll try to stacked those images for the fainter Asteroids in the same field.

Comet 81 P/Wild with a thin Plasma tail and a curved Dust tail!

Image taken at January 3 at 09:35:26 UTC 1200s Exposure remote with TZEC MAUN H10

by J. Linder

The yellow circle marks the trail of Asteroid 19125 (18.1 V)! The motion of 19125 is slower than the Comet, that’s the reason why it’s trailed here!  Comet 81P is near the Ecliptic Plane and so it’s ever possible to find a known or unknown asteroid in this area.

The data of Exposure is here.

Comet 2007 Q3 Siding Spring

Image taken at January 3 at 10:01:02 UTC 450s Exposure remote with TZEC MAUN H10 by J. Linder

 

This Comet was very near the Globular Cluster Messier 3, but too far for the small CCD FOV (Field of View).  2007 Q3 Siding Spring. Has also a thin Plasma tail and a curved Dust tail!

Axel Martin did photometry of the following minor planets:

 

 

- 43 Ariadne

 

Dec. 14th, 2009 - Dec. 26th, 2009 - AP-180 at H10 and the 12"-Newtonian at 628

- 599 Luisa

 

Jan. 4th, 2010 - Jan. 10th, 2010 - AP-180 and the 16in-RC at H10

- 804 Hispania

 

Dec. 18th, 2009 - Jan. 17th, 2009 - AP-180 and the 16in-RC at H10 and the 12"-Newtonian at 628

 

Work on this object is still in progress, because until now the coverage of the light-curve is no very good.

In addition to the photometry astrometric measurements of all objects in the respective fields were also made.
