My NEAT Hunting
I began my search early in January, 2006. I've reported two claims to MPC but only one was received. Problem with my mail-line again? Actually I've discovered lots of unknown asteroids in the CCD images taken by NEAT Survey. However, most of them can't be up for more nighters.
Here comes an animation to my single asteroid.
