Identified as a possible flyby target for the Cassini spacecraft, asteroid 302 Clarissa became the focus of our observing program in 1991. Multi-channel photoelectric observations were performed at Calar Alto Observatory in Spain during four nights (from 29 October to 2 November 1991). Although a subsequent change in the mission scenario removed the asteroids from consideration for the Cassini mission, the ground-based observations yielded a substantial amount of information on this asteroid. A sidereal rotation period of 14.381 +/- 0.002 h with lightcurve amplitude of 0.6 mag has been determined. Considerations on the use of continuous photometry for observations of asteroids are given.
