Nice weather made the lightcurve measurements possible again and Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen were able to make a good measurements about the asteroid 416 Vaticana in 25./26.2.2007 in Taurus Hill Observatory. They used 15 sec. exposures and photometric filter R for the measurements. The comparison stars were GSC2490-1009 (C1) and GSC2490-1073 (C2) (Tämä uutinen suomeksi) […]
Recently found supernovae photographed in Taurus Hill Observatory.
We imaged recently found supernovae at Friday-night 9./10.2.2007 at THO. Observers: Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen. SN2007Q: SN2007R: SN2007S: SN2007T:
The lightcurve of the asteroid 93 Minerva measured in THO.
Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen measured second time the lightcurve of the asteroid Minerva 30.-31.1.2007 in Taurus Hill Observatory. The bright Moon made the measurements a bit difficult, but because Minerva is spot like object, the lightcurve turned out to be very good. Veli-Pekka and Markku measured the astroids lightcurve 5,5 hours that is allmost the one […]
Supernovae SN2007L and SN2007O observed in THO.
Observers 30/31.1.2007 night at THO Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen. (Tämä uutinen suomeksi) SN2007L: SN2007O:
Supernovae SN2007J and SN2007K photographed in Taurus Hill Observatory.
These two supernovae are observed 21/22.1.2007 night. Observers: Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen. SN2007J: SN2007K:
Lightcurve measurements of the asteroid 54 Alexandra made in THO.
The revolution time of the asteroid 54 Alexandra is about 7,3 hours. Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen measured five hours from this 7,3 hours revolution time 21.-22.1.2007 in Taurus Hill Observatory. The weather was clear and the temperature was about -15 celcius degrees. The R -filter and 120 sec. exposures were used for this measurement. The comparison stars were GSC1793-1602 […]
Recently discovered supernovae have been observed in THO.
Veli-Pekka Hentunen has observed supernovae SN2007D, SN2007F and SN2007G in THO. SN2007D: SN2007F: SN2007G:
Lot of new supernovae pictures taken in Tarus Hill Observatory.
(Tämä uutinen suomeksi) Pictures are taken by Veli-Pekka Hentunen 10/11.1.2007 night. SN2006td: SN2006te: SN2007A: SN2007B:
Asteroid 37 Fides lightcurve.
Asteroid 37 Fides spins around its axel once in every 7,3 hours. In Taurus Hill Observatory we measured about five (5) hours from this one spin. The lightcurve below is a result of about 200 separate R -filter -pictures (60 sec. exposure in each picture). This measurements was made in 11.-12.1.2007 and the sky was clear […]
