Report for Asteroid Rotation Observing day on 18th June 2007
Posted June 19th, 2007 by dduggan
Aim
As asteroids rotate they reflect various amounts of light due to their uneven surface. From this variation it is possible to work out the rotation period of the asteroid. The technique works well, but we have never previously tried it with FT North; it was highly experimental because there were two variables we have never tested before.
