Find Those Asteroids!

Exercise 1. Practice finding a few asteroids. Go to the Get Fields tool. Look at the run, camcol and field from the table below. Select the appropriate run and camcol from the dropdown menus, then type in the field. (If the run appears more than once in the drop-down menu, just choose the first one.)

Each image has at least one asteroid. Find the asteroids!

HINT: Asteroids show up better if you select the 1984 x 1361 size from the Size dropdown menu. When you think you have found the asteroids, check your findings with another group. (When you compare, remember there may be more than one asteroid per field.)
