MAY 2010 - MONTHLY REPORT

A NICE catch by Juergen Linder! While imaging Comet 2010 A5 LINEAR, a sporadic meteor happened to pass through the field of view.

The following minor planet lightcurves were published by Axel Martin:

- 350 Ornamenta (2010-04-10 until 2010-04-21)

- 674 Rachele (2010-02-12 until 2010-03-23)

- 776 Berbericia (2010-02-12 until 2010-04-09)

- 129 Antigone (2010-05-19 until 2010-05-26)

- 185 Eunike (2010-04-21 until 2010-05-22)

In addition to the 12"-Newtonian at #628 (Mulheim-Ruhr) the FSQ-105, the 7"-APO and the 16"-RC at H10 (New Mexico Skies) were used to collect the data.

The lightcurves can be found under:

Confirmation observations of C/2010 J3 MCMILLAN submitted by Juergen Linder.

Statement by Juergen: The RC16 was used to confirm or have I say to follow up this Object. Its Brightness of about 17-18m seem to be a Comet. This was confirmed later by bigger Instruments.
