The asteroids 70 Panopaea and 235 Carolina were observed photoelectrically in UBV, both during four nights in September 1980, using the 0.6 m Bochum telescope during ESO-time, at the European Southern Observatory ESO, La Silla, Chile.
For 70 Panopaea we derived a rotation period of P = 15h.87 ± 0h.04 (= 0d.661 ± 0d.002) and a lightcurve amplitude of 0m.12, with primary and in the lightcurve.
For 235 Carolina we found P = 17h.56 ± 0h.03 (= 0d.732 ±0d.001), with an amplitude of at least 0h.35, also showing a double wave lightcurve characteristic.
For both asteroids frequently UBV-colors were measured and no variation exceeding the scatter was found.
