Scientific paper

Due to the very slow angular motion of distant minor planets it should be possible to stack 5 and 10 minute exposures to achieve a 30 to 120 minute total integration time. This should reach to between 20th and 22nd magnitude, enough to capture the brighter distant minor planets near opposition. "Blinking" of images will require a 2 to 5 day interval but the objects should still be within a 20 arc minute frame. So far I have had success with several objects between 5 to 10 AUs and want to extend the range to the Kuiper Belt Objects.
