Hello, If there is someone who has already setup a configuration file for the 14" TIE Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile would you please consider...
Scott, ... Try to contact Kent Manno. I helped them a few years ago with exactly this. Thus they should have cfg files for all TIEs. You can get his address...
There's some recent activity in the MPML group reference the above target, which I'm pretty sure I also imaged on 10/22 while in a nearby field doing 2005SG....
The object was not THAT fast on 10-22: some 5.5"/min (MPC ephemerides). This does not correspond to your 7' during 11 s exposure. The speed of your 'streak'...
... ephemerides). > ... Hi Ladislav... I think you my be referring to 2005SG speed at 5.5"/min which is correct. I imaged that one without problem. The object...
It seems that I misunderstood your original post. It was not clear to me to WHAT object you were actually referring to. 40"/min is the speed, more or less, you...
I'm just getting setup to start observing asteroids by observing a dozen medium brightness asteroids over a few nights as suggested by the MPC in order to get...
I observed (and reported) more than hundred asteroids and it is quite rare not to find them where they are supposed to be. Good idea to check with Lowell - one...
Which asteroid? If you said 4 - 5 arc secs - I would have said that was within expectations - although on the large side. 4 - 5 arc mins for a numbered ...

Lightcurves? Demanding and bit boring to get tens of images for one object. Good luck in all of your endeavors. LN ... From: Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com...
The other possibility is that the asteroid you are seeing is not the asteroid you thought.... Have you used Astrometrica to nominally identify all asteroids in...
The only advice I may give: To get your stationary code select the "easy ones". And second you may check your residuals of well known objects before sending it...
This situation happened not too long ago.. I believe(?) some time last year it was 2006 EN67 that could not be found at its predicted location. -Scott...
... There is already a paper in the works on one star - and I don't have to do the image processing (something I find hard finding the time to do!). that is...
In fact, you can follow the MPML list thread by searching on: {MPML} "2006 EN67 Problem Rock" I recall trying to get follow-up obs on this object and had...
... Often 1/4 of all asteroids in my frames are too close to stars to be resolved and identified. In crowded fields near the Milky Way it might be higher than...
Also, regarding 2001 FX152: "From 81 observations at 7 oppositions, 1976-2005, mean residual 0".68." Probably not unusual (?), but how often do you see a main...
Scott 7 oppositions, 1976-2005 this object probably has astrometry based on 3 or 4 catalogs from pre GSC 1.0 to UCAC 2. Also the time frame, some of these ...
