I entered the RA and Dec for the Zeta given Jan 13, 2003 date
RA 4 21 44 Dec 12 07 10
into the MPChecker form
http://scully.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckMP
for time of day the Jan 10, 2003 images were taken, 6:54 UTC time
2003 01 10.25
allowing it to produce a list of minor planets (asteroids are included)
and it returned with a list of 4!
2001 KS14
2000 GX114
2000 FV36
1997 GH35
within a 15 arc minute radius of the RA and Dec location given.
And the returned Mag of those known asteroid/minor planets is:
2001 KS14 18.5
2000 GX114 17.4
2000 FV36 19.7
1997 GH35 19.9
Better come up with something better than asteroids, Sarah MacWRONG, to
explain what will rapidly become the most-watched event. No need to
take MY word for it, or anyone elses folks, just go LOOK! Coordinates
available, images available. Go for it!
