Thanks guys!
The GoTo system and SkyTools planetarium program that I used to locate the field that probably contained 2003 UB313 made the task relatively straightforward, so the only "credit" I can take is being daft enough to set all the gear up at 1-o-clock in the morning. However, I was VERY surprised to hit mag 19.1 under Brisbane skies.
The ST7E is an amazing CCD camera; it really extends the light grasp of the 4” Vixen, especially during a 15 minute exposure. The FOV is approx 26 x 18 arc mins.
I’ll try again over the weekend to see if I can detect any movement. Hopefully the guys from Astrofest will bring back some good images too – I didn’t make it up there this year.
Cheers
Dennis
