Day #21

Today was a great day. When Dr. Crider and I were working yesterday with Starry Night, I noticed that a few of the stars it identified could be found in the USNO catalogue but not necessarily the default GSC one. Today I got on Maxim DL, went to its astrometry function, and changed the catalogue to USNO (and the path location). It then solved all my 2008 LG2 pictures within two minutes. Therefore, I am now able to get a fairly accurate value for the asteroid's position in my pictures. This issue had held me up for close to two weeks, so I am very happy to finally get it resolved and move on.
