[back] Quaoar (50000) [JPL]

 

After I've read an article about Quaoar, in "Ciel & Espace", a French astronomy revue, I've decide to search this KBO with the RASO telescope.
Here is the best result I've got.

About

Quaoar (said Kwa-whar)

Parameters :

Mag : 19.0 to 20.0, I try to track it since may 27th, a serial of exposure each 2 or 3 days, due to its low path in the sky (0.00342967°/day, equal to 0.2057'/day or 12.34"/day - only 0.51"/h).

 

AREO5 - L(15*60s, binning 1*1), calibration, post-processing of series with MaximDL.

Helped by Andrew LOWE and Robert HUTSEBAUT, from H6. Thanks to them all.
This research was done by Andrew LOWE with Astrometrica and his knowledge of NEO and asteroids tracking.
