2007 HJ96 orbit corrected

[paulobao]

Hello

The MPC has accepted my report with the astrometric measurements of the asteroid 2007 HJ96 to correct its orbit .

The latest observations of this asteroid were made on May 21, 2007.

Not much, only a small contribution that we, poor amateur astronomers, can give to science.

Here the orbital position before and after the correction made by MPC (red rectangle- the MPC position; rose color circle- my position photographed last 11th of July).

Cheers,

Great stuff Paulo, you nailed it. What tools do you use for astrometry, photometry?

Thanks .

I use Astrometrica and for photometry (exoplanets) I use FotoDif.

Cheers,
