The NEO 2015 KQ154 (Orbit type: Amor) was first observed at SONEAR(Southern Observatory for Near Earth Asteroids Research) Observatory, near Oliveira, Brazil on 2015-05-25 by C. Jacques, E. Pimentel, J. Barros. While it was on the NEO Confirmation Page in an effort to help in the confirmation I ran a series of 20 -- 30 Second Luminance Images BIN2 on iTelescope.Net's Telescope-09 , at Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia. (MPC Q62) on 2015-05-26 from 15:43(UTC) to 15:57(UTC) and did data reduction on five images.
