Description

6774 Vladheinrich / Main belt asteroid

Distance 1.02 AU
3.6 km diameter
orbital period 3.25 years
orbital speed : 22.0km/s
Magnitude: 16.6
Movement 40.5"/h
The fluctuation in the magnitude is about 1mag
There is no information about the rotation period.

Rev D shows the movement of 3 hours and the light curve of the Asteroid 6774 Vladheinrich, captured on 2022.02.12.
Camera : ASI174mm / 30nm Ha filter
Exp time 3 hours (90 x 2 minutes)
The Moon was very bright and near, I had to use the 30nm Ha filter.
Fortunately I could do photometry despite the bright Moon.
Of course this is not optimal, but the light curve is pretty similar to the light curve I obtained a week ago. It looks like that the rotation period is about 2 hours. For a more precise value I need another data set. I will capture the asteroid again when the Moon is gone. I hope that under moonless conditions I get a more accurate lightcurve.🙂
