For accurate long-term ephemerides, please instead use our Horizons system.This orbit viewer was implemented using two-body methods, and hence should not be used for determining accurate long-term trajectories (over several years or decades) or planetary encounter circumstances.

| 255703 Stetson | Discovered 2006 Aug. 25 by D. D. Balam at Mauna Kea. |
| Peter Brailey Stetson (b. 1952) develops freely-available software for the analysis of CCD images and spectra, notably DAOPHOT for precision photometry in crowded fields. His fundamental contributions to numerous fields have greatly advanced astrophysics since the deployment of CCDs in the 1980s. |
