[Atmob-discuss] Fw: either I observed asteroid 2010 AL30 with slooh, are a satellite

[George Roberts]

Kevin Fetter, using the slooh scope, seems to have spotted that recently 
mentioned near earth orbit asteroid (which might actually be a rocket stage 
since it has such an unstable orbit with period around the sun of 1.00 years). 
Nice picture in link.

I had used slooh to attempt to see asteroid 2010 AL30.

I caught something with it

http://www.slooh.com/data/teide/2/highmag/2010/01/13/062500p122300_20100113_043210_0_1426_l.png

The trail is located around

6 h 24 m 53 sec R.A
+12 deg 23 min 13 sec Dec

Small feild of view, less then 10 arc minutes it seems.

If I allow for error's in asteroid postion and time it passed, then a close 
match to it. I used the JPL website to find out where to look, using the 
location of the slooh scope.

Are I caught a satellite.
