Observing Run of 2015 NK13  on 2015-08-22 from Nerpio Spain

On 2015-08-22  I  ran a series of 45 -- 60 Second Luminance BIN2 Images on itelescope.net's  (TEL T18 0.32-m f/8.0 astrograph + CCD)  at AstroCamp Observatory. Nerpio, Spain  (MPC Code  I89)  and created 4 stacks of  10 images ( in one the stacks had star where 2015 NK13 should be and was not use)

 Observing Run of 2015 NK13  on 2015-08-22 from Mayhill, New Mexico

 On 2015-08-22 I was able to obtain 39-60 Second Luminance BIN2 Images on itelescope.net's (TEL T11 0.50-m f/6.8 astrograph + CCD + f/4.5 focal reducer) at Mayhill, New Mexico (New Mexico Skies) - MPC H06 and created 4 stacks of 9  images.

Confirmation Images of COMET P/2014 X1 (ELENIN)

The COMET P/2014 X1 (ELENIN) was discovered by Leonid Elenin at ISON-NM Observatory near Mayhill, NM, USA(MPC H51) on 2014-12-12. While it was on the PCCP Confirmation Page in an effort to help in the confirmation I was able to obtain 33 -- 60 Second Luminance BIN2 Images(I try to run a series of 40 however the script started late and time ran over) on Telescope 18 (iTelescope.Net), AstroCamp Observatory. Nerpio, Spain (MPC I89) and did Data reduction on 4 Images.
