Parallax of Asteroids JS9(AiM) (First Part - Second Part)

On the 12th of May 2022 (approx. 3:50 UT) PHA 7335 was photographed simultaneously
from the volcano Teide on Tenerife and from Cerro Tololo in Chile.

Download the respective "reduced" images onto your computer:
Teide/Tenerife : https://observe.lco.global/requests/2881362
Cerro Tololo/Chile : https://observe.lco.global/requests/2881364

Note the observation time exactly!

Unzip the data into two different folders and label them sensibly!

Observation site 1:	Observation site 2:		Initial assessment and orientation:
			Upload the images from Teide in observation site 1: JS9-menu : File ➔ open local ... Search the folder and activate all (nine) images with [open]. JS9-menu : View ➔ Blinking allows an overview of the loaded recordings. Check [ ✓ ] blink on every loaded image. A tick at [ ✓ ] Blink Images shows that there are fixed stars and moving objects. Set "blink rate" to "0.1". Check if the picture numbers are shown in the correct order. (The order of the images can be changed by holding down the left mouse button.) Describe your observations in key words! Upload the images from Cerro Tololo (lsc) in observation site 2: JS9-menu : File ➔ open local ... Search the folder and activate all (nine) images with [open]. Carry out all the above steps also for observation site 2 and describe your observation in comparison to observation site 1 in key words!

Note:

WCS ➔ wcs reproject ... ➔ all images in this display, using wcs

( WCS stands for World Coordinat System: The program aligns the images according to the sky coordinates provided in the FITS header. )
Attention: Depending on the speed of your computer, this may take some time!

Exercise:

Put your keywords into a flowing text.
Search the internet for information about asteroid 7335 and summarise the most important points.
Find out the meaning of PHA and write it down.
Complement your work with a picture of 7335 from Teide/Tenerife and a picture of 7335 from Cerro Tololo/Chile.
Mark the position of asteroid 7335 in both images.
Label both images: Name of the object, observation site, date, time in UT.
Explore and describe the observation sites (picture, map, ...).
