Hi Phil

Here is a highly compressed screen print of the region from The Sky 6. Each blue cross marks the location of an asteroid.

What time was the image taken?

Cheers

This appears to be the region of interest and shows 3 known asteroids?

Cheers

Hi Phil,

Assuming you have the exact location and correct time the you can use these links to test to see what is already catalogued amoung moving targets:

http://scully.cfa.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckMP
http://scully.cfa.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckNEO
http://scully.cfa.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckCMT
http://scully.cfa.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckNEOCMT

I think you might want to check the location again since your DEC and Altitude values are the same.....

Cheers
