Opposition Dates for Great Shefford Observatory Minor Planet Discoveries
Objects are listed in order of increasing distance east of the Sun (i.e. from evening sky objects through to morning objects).
Observable objects (near opposition) will be found near the middle of the listing.
Ephemerides for these objects can be generated here.
Opposition dates, RA, Decl., Magnitudes and Elongations are approximate.
Information compiled 27 Dec 2007 from MPC MPES Ephemeris Summary and 1-line orbital elements.
Opposition Date Object RA Decl. Mag. Elong. Last Observed No. of opps U Further Observations? Orbit
Rows in Green denote objects with elongations of 90° or more and mag +21.5 or brighter and observed within the last 2 months
Rows in Red denote objects with elongations of 90° or more and mag +21.5 or brighter but not observed within the last 2 months
