The Hunt for 4822 Karge



I'm about 90% certain we imaged 4822 Karge
back on July 25th using the
Bradford Robotic Telescope on Tenerife island.
I'm working on getting some confirmation.

    4822 Karge is magnitude 17.7 and getting fainter. We have some new images to process.
    We'll use the moonless period in August for another attempt.

    Hi,
    I just learned that an asteroid was named after Mr. Karge. He was my physics teacher back in 1969, a very good year. If you're interested, I have stories to share...

    If you have Google Earth installed, go into Sky mode and enter these
    coordinates: 17 14 37.88 -18 38 28.9

    Compare the star field on Google Earth with the image I obtained.

    4822 Karge is probably between the two red marks.
