Taurus Hill Observatories supernovae photographing campaign continued with two supernova observation. Pictures taken 22.4.2007 in THO.
Part of the lightcurve of the asteroid 36 Atalante measured.
Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen measured 5.2 hours (total of the asteroids 9.93 hours spin) the lightcurve of the asteroid 36 Atalante 16./17.4.2007 at Taurus Hill Observatory. The bright late spring sky made the measurements a bit difficult and there won’t be much weeks left in this observing season here in Finland. Veli-Pekka and Markku used 150 sec. exposures and photometric R -filter for each […]
Supernovae SN2007bd, SN2007be and SN2007bf photographed.
Recently founded supernovae SN2007bd, SN2007be and SN2007bf photographed in Taurus Hill Observatory. Observers: Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen at THO 12/13. April 2007 night. (Tämä uutinen suomeksi)
Asteroid 173 Ino photographed and measured in THO.
Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen measured the lightcurve of the asteroid 173 Ino in 8.-9.4.2007 at Taurus Hill Observatory. The variation in light intensity was very small, only 0.06 magnitudes. Despite that the lightcurve turned out to be very good. The weather was quite gold, -6 celcius, and clear. Veli-Pekka and Markku used 150 sec. exposures […]
Supernovae SN2007ae, SN2007bb and SN2007bc photographed in THO.
We gathered in easter to THO and took some CCD images of recently found supernovae, included SN2007ae found in THO earlier this spring. Observers from THO Observing Team: Veli-Pekka Hentunen, Markku Nissinen, Henri Taino, Harri Haukka, Jari Juutilainen, Mari Laitinen and Olli Rantula. (Tämä uutinen suomeksi)
Asteroid 31 Euphrosyne measured in Taurus Hill Observatory.
The asteroid research continued in THO when the lightcurve of the asteroid 31 Euphrosyne was measured by Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen in 30./31.2.2007 They used 120 sec. exposures and photometric filter R for the measurements. The comparison stars were GSC3422-1893 (C1) and GSC3422-1322. The Moon made the measurements a bit difficult, but in spite of that the […]
Asteroid 471 Papagena measurements made in Taurus Hill Observatory.
The lightcurve of the asteroid 471 Papagena was measured by Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen in 25./26.2.2007 in Taurus Hill Observatory. They used 120 sec. exposures and photometric filter R for the measurements. The comparison stars were GSC 2488-0284 (C1) and GSC 2495-0287 (C2). (Tämä uutinen suomeksi)
Lot of new supernovae pictures taken in Taurus Hill Observatory.
We took CCD images at 23/24.3.2007 night of recently found supernovae. Observers: Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen at THO
Supernova SN2007af photographed in Taurus Hill Observatory.
(Tämä uutinen suomeksi) Supernova SN2007af photographed in THO 14.3/15.3.2007 night. Observers: Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen.
New supernova, SN2007ae, discovered in THO!
(Tämä uutinen suomeksi) Markku Nissinen and Veli-Pekka Hentunen discovered 19.2.2007 a fully new supernova that got the tag name of SN2007ae. This object is located in galaxy UGC 10704 and more specified co-ordinates are R.A = 17h01m51s.95 and Decl. = +79°01’54”.6. Supernova is a type 1a and at the moment of photographing it was 17,4 magnitude object. This is the first time when Taurus Hill […]
