PHA 2005 YU55 chart

I made a chart for the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2005 YU55 using updated data from SkyTools 3 Pro. Viewed it in the Interactive Atlas. Turned on the Motion Trails. Then adjusted the time to 10 PM EST so to make the trail start around sunset...



Made a snapshot with the Copy command, after adjusting the dimensions to 1280x1024, which allowed me to save a colour image. Tweaked it a little in Fireworks. Download the colour JPEG image (45 KB).

Then I sent it to the virtual PDF printer, and Bullzip took over. Download the black & white Adobe PDF file (202 KB).

Skies aren't looking great though...
