Description

Hyperbolic Asteroid A/2021 X1
2022 Feb. 08.60 UT  m=18.1...[T30] 0.51-m f/6.8 astrograph + CCD... T. Prystavski...
iTelescope observatory, Q62 (remotely from Siding Spring, Australia)

Probably this asteroid is active. Still have doubts as now it is 18.1 mag,
which better coincides with asteroidal light curve type and no clear sighn of coma visible.
We may see a tail in PA 66 deg and FWHM of the asteroid (~4.1") is higher comparing to stars
of the same brightness (~2.9"). Need more observations!
