I fell in love with asteroids as an undergraduate astrophysics student at Indiana University. In 1966, as a freshman, I worked on the IU Asteroid Program. I was on the Program for four years and even worked there full-time during the summer after graduation in 1970. I was one of several students who would measure star and asteroid positions on 8x10 inch photographic glass plates using the Gaertner Measuring Engine .

This page shows 49 asteroids I have photographed from Cassiopeia Observatory, sorted by ID Number. Some asteroids have been imaged more than once. Click a thumbnail to see a larger version.

Asteroid names with a single asterisk (*) are named for friends or past professors. Asteroid names with a double asterisk (**) are named for places of significance to me.
