Viewers' pictures - Alan Cahill / Callum Potter
Movie of the asteroid 1998 WT24
"The images were taken by Alan Cahill from Gloucester, using a Starlight Express MX5 with 135mm telephoto lens, piggyback on celestron C5 scope. The individual images were 20 second exposures. The first image was taken at 2201 UT and the last one at 2306 UT all on the 14th of December 2001. At this time the asteroid was measured to be magnitude 9.3. Callum Potter composed the attached animated GIF from Alan's images using The GIMP image processing software. Alan Cahill and Callum Potter are both members of the Cotswold Astronomical Society. For more of Alan's images, check out his website"
