Asteroids are remnants from the formation of the solar system. By studying the properties of asteroids, insights about this period of time and the solar system itself can be gained. In
order to study the rotational properties of asteroids, photometric observations are made using the 24-inch telescope at Hobbs Observatory. After recent modifications to this telescope, inconsistencies were observed within the photometric data. The possible causes of these inconsistencies are examined.
