How I do asteroides measurements?:
For such measurements, I use an home-made 430mm f/2.7 newtonian telescope. My CCD camera is an Audine one, with a Kaf3200e sensor. The CCD camera is linked to my computer through an Ethernaude interface. My mount is mototrised by MCMT . For driving my CCD camera, my mount and for astrometric and photometric measurement, I use PRiSM software. After a good night of observations, I send my Measurement to the MPC (Minor Planet Center), a Part of the IAU (Internationale Astronomical Union).
You can notice that Audine, Ethernaude, MCMT and PRiSM are developped by french amateurs astronomeurs. Thanks a lot for them to give everybody such powerfull tools.

friend's asteroid: (21380)Devanssay Jean-Benoit De Vanssay is a good friend of mine. In 2005 December, Alain Maury gave Jean-Benoit's mane to an asteroid founded in 1998 at the "Observatoire de Cote d'Azur". So the 1998DB20 became (21380)Devanssay Naming citation, from MPC 55722: (21380) Devanssay = 1998 DB20 |
