Scientific paper

Four nights of long observing runs on asteroid 4265 Kani between 2008 Oct 24 and Oct 31 have shown that it rotates with a period of 5.7279 ± 0.0002 h and that it exhibited a near-symmetrical lightcurve of amplitude 0.75 ± 0.02 mag. For one observing run, photometric accuracy was found to deteriorate following telescope reversal on crossing the meridian. The problem was associated with a skewed distribution of comparison stars and was corrected for in the final analysis.
