Abstract
The first photometric lightcurve results from the Evelyn L. Egan Observatory [MPC Code H72] are reported . Despite a wildfire on campus and four land falling hurricanes, we were able to obtain detailed lightcurve measurements over a period of several nights for two main-belt asteroids: 287 Nephthys and 479 Caprera . The following synodic periods and amplitudes were determined : 287 Nephthys : 7.6065h±0.0002h with an amplitude of 0.20m; 479 Caprera : 9.4250h±0 .0003h with an amplitude of 0.11m.
