The images below were taken with Slooh telescopes. Information on the telescopes can be found by clicking on the Slooh Telescope Information tab above or going to the bottom of this page. The images themselves can be seen by navigating the directories shown at the bottom of this page.

Slooh does not report seeing or transparency for the images. Slooh does provide a sky rating for the imaging but it is rough guess as to cloud cover and not available after that evening.

To qualify for an Asteroid Observing Program Certificate, you must observe and confirm the required number of asteroids.

Your observations should be recorded in a notebook or on a computer and should include:

the location (latitude and longitude)
date and time of the observation
the number and name of the asteroid
seeing and transparency
the instrument used.

If working visually, each observation should include a sketch showing the position of the asteroid in relation to the nearby stars. Each asteroid must be observed at least twice in different positions, and at the time of the second observation you must verify that the object is no longer in the position where it was observed the first time. If using CCD imaging, it is sufficient to either print the two positions or measure them and simply report the positions of the asteroid according to standard astrometric procedures.

Certification Asteroids Required

Regular 25

The positions of the first twenty-five asteroids were determined with Astrometrica version 4.11.1.442. Asteroids after the first twenty-five were determined with version 4.12.0.448. The older version generates an MPC Report file while the newer version generates an ADES Report. The contents of those reports are shown below.
