14. Sample images

In your CD-ROM<A>, you will find several sample images that the 25-cm reflective telescope with CCD camera at the Bisei Spaceguard Center took. The size of these images is 2,048 X 2,048 = approx. 419 million pixels. This corresponds to an angular area of the night sky of about 1.3 degrees by 1.3 degrees.

What follows is the list of images.

If the first 11 characters of the file names are the same it means they are of the same area of the night sky. The numbers that follow characters denote the number of order in which images were taken. For your information, ".fts" means that the images are of FITS format.

Please try to find asteroids using these images. For your convenience, the blinking animations are also attached.

Next, measure the positions of asteroids.

After finding asteroids, please try to measure their positions. If you measure the positions of asteroids for above image files, the results would be like as follows. You should send this kind of result data to your coordinator.
