(9929) McConnell was created by dmcdona
Folks - recently Martin McKenna (AKA Martin Astro) asked if I could image 9929 McConnell. The asteroid is named after John C McConnell, also on these boards, of the East Antrim Astronomical Society.
John had put out a challenge - 9929 had never been imaged by an amateur before (well, as far as anyone could know). At mag 16.3, it was a tough one and the moon didn't help either.
However, a few lucky breaks in the cloud and a few hours of imaging later, I'm pleased to share both a static image and an animation with you. Both are at the top of the page on the link below.
As ever, enjoy!
