The most interesting object observed during the month was 2008 JL24, a mag +17.5 LINEAR discovery added to the NEO Confirmation Page (NEOCP) just before midnight on 11th May and predicted to be moving at about 25"/min. The sky cleared at Great Shefford a couple of hours later and I started searching for it at 00:25 UT. The uncertainty area indicated by the Minor Planet Center was about 80' wide, much bigger than my 18'x18' field of view. I started imaging at the nominal position, at the western end of the area and while the first set of images was being taken I checked with FindOrb whether by chance any of the astrometric positions submitted by LINEAR had poor residuals, in case I could possibly improve the prediction. All the positions looked good, but the ephemeris generated by FindOrb had the object way off to the east, beyond the furthest eastern extent of the NEOCP uncertainty area.

I decided to start searching from the FindOrb prediction and to work my way back to the western side of the NEOCP area with overlapping fields. I picked up the NEO in the corner of the second field attempted, over 1.5 degrees from the nominal position, but in fact only 10 minutes after I had started observing! I re-centred and obtained some further images and sent off the astrometry to the Minor Planet Center.

When LINEAR discovered 2008 JL24 it was just inside the orbit of the Moon, at 0.94 Lunar Distances (LD) and by the time I confirmed it 18 hours later it had already receded to 1.4 LD. Over the years LINEAR has discovered a number of fast moving objects that were probably closer than the Moon at the time, but never picked up again and in fact 2008 JL24 is the first time that a NEO has been discovered while closer than the Moon and then subsequently confirmed. It was well observed over the next five days before fading out of sight just before the full Moon.

Peter comments;

After a rather lack-lustre May, June provided the best stats I've logged for that month since my records started in 2002, with 16 at least partially usable nights and 47 hours at the telescope.

This time of year, activity on the NEO Confirmation Page is tailing off as the main NASA survey sites in the southern USA get closer to the summer monsoon season, even so, there were 22 new NEO discoveries announced and 9 of those were observed, with 2008 LA and 2008 LG2 being followed on 5 nights each and still being listed (July 5th) as 'virtual impactors'. Another NEO 2008 LH2 was confirmed soon after LINEAR discovered it, just after its closest approach to 9 Lunar Distances (LD) and followed for a total 7 nights.

2008 LB was the closest and fastest moving NEO seen during the month, a difficult Apollo object, last recorded 16 hours before its closest approach at about 3.8 LD, mag +17.9 and moving at 83"/min through the very crowded star fields just 5° south-east of the Scutum star cloud. Another object recorded in a rich star field was 2003 OB4, this Amor type NEO had been discovered by NEAT on 23 July 2003 and, with prediscovery images, had been tracked for three months that year but not seen since. I searched for it on several nights in eastern Ophiuchus and found it over 0.5° off-track on 9th June at mag +19, confirming it the next night, with the recovery being announced in MPEC 2008-L43.

Photometry

Richard Miles

Copy of Richard’s emails to Petr Pravec.

Petr,

I was able to obtain accurate photometry of 1991 VH last night (transformed

V mags) using three comparison stars in the field of view of my main 0.28-m

telescope calibrated against five Hipparcos stars using my widefield V- and

I-filter scopes. I also reported astrometry to MPC.

Each datapoint is based on 10 x 30-sec exposures unfiltered, tracked and

stacked using Astrometrica.

My calibration from Unfiltered to V is reliable.

The V magnitude data (calibrated to 0.02 mag absolute) appear to show a

feature. They are:

25.99674 16.021 0.012

26.00004 16.013 0.012

26.00334 16.008 0.012

26.00682 16.019 0.012

26.02622 16.072 0.013

26.02989 16.136 0.014

26.03356 16.160 0.014

26.03722 16.147 0.015

26.04088 16.150 0.014

26.04455 16.133 0.015

26.04822 16.079 0.014

26.05188 16.071 0.014

26.05555 16.025 0.014

26.05921 16.050 0.015

I have attached a plot (below) plus the data as an ASCII file.

Let me know if you need the time in some other format and I can redo this. I am interested to see how these data fit with others.

Cheers,

Richard Miles (MPC J77)
