Introduction

The HET602: Own Project covered the imaging and analysis of 4 types of asteroidal targets - Short, Average, Long and Very Long period targets.

The targets chosen were: (11131) 1996 VO30 (Short), 12371 Madicampbell (Statistical Average), 105 Artemis (Long) and 2430 Bruce Helin (Very Long). The paper describes the setup used by Hunters Hill observatory in undertaking this type of work and the techniques used to acquire and reduce the data then resolve the periods.
