NEO Asteroid 2006VV2 @2007-03-31 - Asteroid 2006VV2 + (16) Psyche on 2007-03-31 Date/Time: Sat 05 Nov 2005 06:22:55 PM UTC

Title	Asteroid 2006 VV2 flyby on Mar. 2007
Description	Near Earth Object (NEO), Asteroid 2006 VV2 Asteroid 2006 VV2 passed very close to Earth on Mar. 31, 2007 and had a close (visual) encounter with asteroid Psyche 2006 VV2 approached within only 0.023 AU (only 8.8 lunar distances or 3,44 million km) to earth!
Info	According to NASA, 2006 VV2 was discovered by LINEAR on November 11, 2006 It's diameter is estimated between 1,5km and 3km The Minor Planet Center classified 2006 VV2 as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2006 VV2: 10mag, distance 0.0236AU, solar distance 1.0187AU (16) Psyche: 10.9mag, distance 2.36AU, solar distance 3.25AU

Date	March 31, 2007 22:02 UT - 22:40 UT
Conditions	Light haze Temp. 7° C Visual limiting magnitude only 3mag Objects altitude :+46° Moon nearly full and only 15° off target!!!
Telescope	Refractor, TMB 115mm F/7, 0.8x Televue reducer
Mount	Losmandy G-11
Camera	Canon 30d
Focallength	640mm
Exposure	26 exposures 200 ISO 90s each (so each dash equals 90s, the gaps are caused by the time needed for the image download)
Processing	Iris 5.30 Dark frame subtraction Hot pixel removal Stellar registration/composite Crop
Remark	If you are surprised by the suddenly stopping dashes from 2006 VV2: After image #26 the guide cam bumped against one of the tripod legs and all following exposures were ruined :-(

Stepe wedge - Graustufenkeil Date/Time: Wed 22 Dec 2004 02:53:00 AM UTC

Title	Step wedge - Graustufenkeil
Info	Please use this step wedge to adjust contrast and brightness-levels of your monitor,so you can see all grey levels from black to white. Especially take care, thatthe blackest black is as dark as possible, but still distinguishable fromthe next brighter step.
Info	Bitte benutzen Sie diesen Grauverlauf, um Ihren Monitor soeinzustellen, daß alle Graustufen von schwarz bis weiß sichtbar sind. Das dunkelste Schwarzsollte dabei so dunkel wie möglich erscheinen, aber trotzdem noch von der nächst hellerenGraustufe zu unterscheiden sein.
