Technical Note: Asteroid Detection Demonstration from SkySat-3 - B612 Data Using Synthetic TrackingWe report results from analyzing the data taken by the sCMOS cameras on board of SkySat3 using the synthetic tracking technique. The analysis demonstrates the expected sensitivity improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio of the faint asteroids from properly stacking up the short exposure images in post-processing.
