Bernhard's comets and asteroids IAU codes: B82 Maidbronn (retired) and K87 Dettelbach Vineyard Observatory
(C) Copyright: Photo montage performed by Bernhard Häusler, Germany Don't waste time planning the night session and focus on the evaluation...
A warm welcome to all friends of comets and minor planets!
You proudly call an IAU Observatory Code your own
and have perhaps long since lost
Over 12,100 individual measurements of more than 1790 Near Earth Objects on K87 Dettelbach Vineyard Observatory since 2017. The following image shows the Execute Search Window triggered by the "S" function in the Revise Planning Window. Illustration of the path of an object in NEO Planner: Leave nothing to chance anymore, but check the paths of each object before the session and adjust the recording times if necessary. NEO Planner is for free, code-protected and works for all IAU stations worldwide.
Currently registered stations (54):
104, 215, 221, 227, 637, 958, B50, B72, C23, C95, D28,
D43, D46, E89, G04, G15, G19, J22, J69, K19, K35,
(Australia, Belgium, Brazil,
Chile, Croatia, Germany, France, Italy, Namibia,
New Zealand, Romania, Spain, Amateur or professional observers are welcome to use NEO Planner. Current version: V5.4.0 (November,28 2024)
NEO Planner is able to calculate the exposure times, the
required number of exposures and the positions of currently observable comets,
NEO and NEOCP objects
In addition, NEO Planner automatically monitors the NEOCP
and provides the user with important current changes, both visually and, if
desired, acoustically.
If desired, the planning and ephemeris can be uploaded to
a website to be followed from any location and browser.

Imaging 'N' Astronomy program
N.I.N.A. by Stefan
Berg about XML and JSON formats
NEO Planner supports up to five cameras and devices
per observatory. The
Execute Search Window supports searching for new objects with a mosaic display
of the star background.
The Execute Search Window can also be used via the "S" function in the Revise
Window, which shows the path of the selected planning object together with the
star background. And many features more... Have a look here for historical informations of K87 and other observers --> Hohmann's MPEC'able (Tracking News for Humans) and NEODyS IAU Minor Planet Center Status MPEC Watch Global Statistics - All time
Both the following template and the scripts for Orchestrate, XML- and JSON for N.I.N.A.,
.TXT for ACP and .CSV for common usage are generated after the planning
procedure.. Examples of interfaces: Script for Orchestrate, Templates XML and JSON for N.I.N.A., Script for ACP, .CSV for own usage

shooting star of the Perseids crossed
constellation Pisces
2023-08-22 (C) by Bernhard Haeusler, Dettelbach, Germany
My Allsky camera caught a nice Perseid straggler in the Pisces. Track length
approx. 20° in PA 228.8. Rarely have I caught such a magnificent example. Moon, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn came together this morning with the beautiful comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE. A moment to pause and think about the beauty and size of our universe. This morning made my face smile.
I left my telescope with its automatic scanning of the sky and drove a
few kilometers to the highest elevation nearby. Morning light comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE in Auriga, Lynx on the left. Menkalinan in Auriga is the brightest star top right. 2020-07-12 by Bernhard Haeusler, Dettelbach, Germany double size 1.9MB original size 10MB

There are two dots westward the central condensation. The comet tail is looking more and more like a cigar. Here you find a light curve of the comet on CometasObs showing a decrease of the central magnitude since March, 28 2020
In comparison an image of comet C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) during its desintegration process... and one week before 2020 FR3 is an Apollo type asteroid and classified as a PHA. The small body passed a weak galaxy cluster in the Western edge region of constellation LEO close to the bounder of CANCER
