Observations of the five asteroids designated 3 Juno, 24 Themis, 60 Echo, 261 Prymo, and 863 Benkoela over the 1978-1984 period have been subjected to Fourier analysis to obtain composite lightcurves. The method yields a rotation-period value, mean absolute magnitudes for each night of observation, and Fourier coefficients that define composite-lightcurve shape, with formal error estimates for all quantities. The first three of the asteroids listed exhibit significant variation in surface albedo.
