Hi All, I put together a short clip showing Skip Wilson's namesake asteroid as it appeared in a triplet of images taken at Palomar on September 14, 2002:

Set your media player to "repeat" in order to better follow the motion of the minor planet against the background stars. Recapping the asteroid citation: >From Minor Planet Circular 67220: (195998) Skipwilson = 2002 RO235 Ivan "Skip" Wilson (b. 1941) is a pioneer of systematic meteorite recovery. He has found over 100 distinct meteorites in the blowouts of eastern New Mexico since 1966, and he witnessed and recovered the 1998 Portales Valley fall. He has coauthored papers about meteorite accumulation rates and pairing. Merry Christmas all, Rob ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
