Rotational Period Determination of 1526 Mikkeli
Abstract
The main-belt asteroid 1526 Mikkeli was observed over seven nights throughout 2020 October-November in order to determine its synodic rotational period. Lightcurve analysis was done using differential photometry technique using MPO Canopus (Warner, 2012). The observations were carried out from "F. Fuligni" Observatory using a 0.35-m f/10 ACF telescope and SBIG ST8-XE CCD camera unfiltered. All images were dark and flat-field calibrated with Maxim DL.
