54598 Bienor (2000 QC243) The centaur was filmed on the first night of the April 2022 campaigns. The DES search program discovered the asteroid on August 27, 2000 at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The size of the asteroid is 187.5km and the rotation speed is 9.14h / r. The asteroid will enter Perihel in January 2028 13.2au. When photographing the asteroid was 14,465au away. We have photographed this object earlier in the March 2022 work. Now we photographed with the method of two observations where the interval between exposures was about 2h. This distant object required it to make the movement properly visible. The description consisted of 3 120s of exposure. There are about 10 detectable Kuiperoids in our equipment, a brightness of less than 20 magnitudes is required for the measurement.
