Visibility III / V
3361 Orpheus (1982 HR) The asteroid Apollo NEO / PHA was photographed on the second night of November. The asteroid was discovered by Cilean astronomer Carlos Torres (1929-2011) at the National Astronomical Observatory (Chile) at Cerro El Roble Observatory (805) on April 24, 1982. In addition to asteroids, Carlos Torres has measured the motion of nearby stars and found a total of 37 asteroids, Wikipedia https: // en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Torres_(astronomer) . Cerro El Roble Observatory is located on the mountain of the same name about 63km northwest of Santiago, source Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Astronomical_Observatory_(Chile) #Cerro_El_Roble_Station #Cerro_El_Roble_Station "href =" htt / National_Astronomical_Observatory_ (Chile) #Cerro_El_Roble_Station "> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Astronomical_Observatory_ (Chile) #Cerro_El_Roble_Station (Orpheus) Orpheus was the son of the Muse of Oigros, the king of the rock and the god of the river, he received Lyran as a gift from Apollonia, which he played beautifully.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orfeus . The size of the asteroid is about 300m and the rotation speed is 3.5327h / r. 3361 The Orpheus orbit takes it close to the orbit of Venus. When shooting, the clouds prevented the use of the beginning of the exposure series, however, Figures 7-11 were sufficient to detect very rapid movement. At the time of filming, the asteroid was 0.0807au and as of November 21, 2021, 0.0385au.
