Nice job Tyler, I love that minor planet animation. It looks really cool. Mostly I see minor planets animated through a star field. This is way cool. M96 looks like part of it’s arm is missing; interesting Jim --- On Sat, 2/14/09, Tyler Allred <tylerallred@earthlink.net> wrote: From: Tyler Allred <tylerallred@earthlink.net> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] New Images Posted to SLAS Gallery - M95 and M96 and Minor Planet Zeelandia To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Date: Saturday, February 14, 2009, 2:40 PM Hi all. I just added two items to my SLAS gallery: 1st - An image of M95 and M96, two spiral galaxies in the Leo I group http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1013 (click for larger version) 2nd - An animation of minor planet (1336) Zeelandia crossing near M96. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1016 I caught Zeelandia while imaging M95 and M96 and contacted Patrick for help with identification. Patrick helped me find a database of minor planets to use with "The Sky 6", which is the planetarium software that I use for choosing imaging targets etc. Many thanks to Patrick! Cheers, Tyler PS - I hope to put a few faces with the names on Tuesday night at the SLAS monthly meeting. See you there. _____________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
