2012 DA14 (animated GIF)

[paulobao]

Hi,

it's 1h55 here in portugal :-).

I made 11 series of this one (for astrometric purposes). This is the smaller series with only 13 frames (the other have up to 100 frames with a much lesser integration time per frame)

Tak FS102NSV @ 641 mm

QSI532WS-M1 @ -25ºC

No filter: 13x 3s @ bin 2x2 (I really only needed 300 ms to get it at this mag!)

Cheers,

paulo

Terrific capture Paulo - you're very lucky - I couldn't see it from my location in the UK due to clouds. Well done

Brilliant job Just what I was hoping to get, but alas I too was clouded out. Pleased to see someone managed to bag it for the rest of us

Great animation - clouded out here

Excellent capture

I love the fact that you have a meteor and DA14 looking like they are passing each other

Cheers

Too cloudy here as usual to see these events. You're lucky to have captured it

Not a meteor. A satellite probably (or another asteroid close flyby that nobody spotted ?)

Excellent animation of this and very good seeing - nice to catch the other track, and there are also three bright point objects (stars?) flashing to the RHS/Upper quadrant. Could be cloud/atmoshperic, but doesn't seem move/obscure anything else.

Looks like the yanks tried to shoot it down great animation ... well done.

Thanks all :-)

To finish this NEO fever, I let you this animation made with series # 3 (I made 11): 40 frames @ 700 ms.

Cheers,

too much thin cloud & lp at my location. will have to re-check the frames i captured a bit more closely though, just to be sure.
