Eris (2003 UB313) animation spanning 4 nights/mornings

Hello,

Here is an animation of Eris (2003 UB313) spanning 4 nights/mornings, from 19th to 22nd Sept. I had a couple of quick moving asteroids come through the field on 20th and 22nd and have identified them on their respective frames.

As I have to set up my gear each night, the ccd camera is not consistently orientated at a fixed position so there was some field rotation that I had to overcome, not to mentions bands of clouds, strong winds, tiredness and the light polluted skies of Brisbane. Nothing that a permanent observatory in the Atacama Desert would not fix!

Cheers

Dennis

PS – I hope the above link works. I just tried my first IIS ftp upload! If you are reading this, then I haven't broken the server.
