My Friday night images showed a big, sexy asteroid 19 arcmin away from the Hallas asteroid current ephemeris position traveling east at about the predicted speed of Tony Hallas’ asteroid (32608). Not only was it in the wrong location, it was at least magnitude 17, not the faint 20.3 magnitude listed for Tony’s. I reshot the asteroid field to include both this BIG one and the position of Tony’s predicted by the ephemeris. Fortunately, a huge tongue of (relatively) dry air poured into Chiefland last night as you can see from the water vapor image above. So the skies were transparent and I remotely re-acquired and re-imaged the Virgo field of interest. I downloaded the first image which was started at 10:02PM EDT (2:02UT) and again all I see is the biggie asteroid, as if to mock me! Is this Tony’s; if not, where is his? After downloading the second 20-minute image, I decided to blink these two images in CCDStack and VOILA!!!!!!! There was his “rock”!!!!! It was there in all its glory and later images would support. But what really closed the deal was image linking my exposures onto TheSky and seeing an exact fit – time, direction and speed! SCORE! See above image link gif effort with my exact starting times entered and watch TheSky cursor exactly trace the linear combined image streak over 80 minutes (4 X 20′). Tony’s asteroid is likely a serious rock, not a small pebble! I say that because it is currently 2.359 AU away from the Sun which is about 213 million miles according to the ephemeris (we are, by definition, about 1 AU away from Sun)! In hindsight, I DID barely capture Tony’s Friday night when stacking the exposures and blinking. But it was in a busy distant galaxy field and almost imperceptible even with comparative blinking! Also looks like Tony’s asteroid is a bit “rogue” in that it is quite a ways out of the plane of the ecliptic – a non-conformer! An image of the culprit Ritchey-Chretien scope that violated the privacy of Tony’s asteroid is shown above, basking in this morning’s glorious sunrise seemingly oblivious the morning after!
