Asteroid radar observations have been schedule for (436724) 2011 UW158 2015 Jul 13-26 at Goldstone 2015 Jul 12-17 at Arecibo with the goal of high resolution imaging.

Observing Run on 2015-06-14

On 2015-06-14 I ran a series of 30 -- 60 Second Luminance BIN2 Images on itelescope.net's (TEL T09 0.32-m f/9.3 Ritchey-Chretien + CCD + f/7.4 focal reducer) at Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia. (MPC Q62) and did data reduction on six images.

NOTE: A digital artifact appeared in three images (1,2,and 3) "near" (436724) 2011 UW158 however it was within 0.3 a pixels of have the SAME Pixel Coordinate (x/y) in ALL three images -- I dither the images so this could ruled out-- it being anything in orbit.

Confirmation Images of the Near-Earth Object 2015 LF on 2015-06-07

The Near-Earth Object 2015 LF (Orbit type: Apollo ) was first observed by the Catalina Sky Survey(MPC code 703) on 2015 06 07. The asteroid has an approximate diameter of 13 m - 31 m ( ~45 foot - 102 foot) ( H=26.4) and will make a close approach to earth on 2015-Jun-08 at ~ 23:49 UT (06:49 PM CDT) at an approximate distance of 0.00131Astronomical Units ( 0.51 Lunar Distances) or 121,772.108 Miles (195,973.211 KM).

While 2015 LF was on the NEO Confirmation Page in an effort to help in the confirmation I ran three series of 30 -- 10 Second Luminance BIN2 Images on itelescope.net's (TEL T27 0.70-m f/6.6 CDK astrograph + CCD) at Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia. (MPC Q62) and created 4 stacks 15 images (run number one was not used due to poor sky).

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.

The Asteroid (357439) = 2004 BL86 On 2015-01-25

The NEO (357439) 2004 BL86 (Orbit type: Apollo ) (estimated to be 440–1000 meters in diameter) will safely make a Close-Approach of 3.1 Lunar Distance on 26 January 2015. This will be the closest known Approach by something this large (H = 19.0) until 2027, and will briefly peak at around apparent magnitude 9.0 It has been schedule for Goldstone Observations(2015 Jan 27-Feb 1).

The Asteroid 2014 TL, Size: 5-18 m(16-59 feet) made a close pass of around 98000 km, (less than a third of the distance to the moon) on October 1, 2014 then was discovered on October 2, 2014. While it was on the NEO Confirmation Page in an effort to help in the confirmation I ran a series of 60 -- 15 Second Luminance Images on Telescope 32 (iTelescope.Net), Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia. (MPC Q62) on the night of 2014-10-02 and created 3 stacks 20 images.

The NEO 2014 SS1

The NEO 2014 SS1 was discovered At Pan-STARRS 1, Haleakala,Hawaii,USA on 2014-09-12. While it was on the NEO Confirmation Page in an effort to help in the confirmation I ran a series of 30 -- 30 Second Luminance Images on Telescope 17 (iTelescope.Net), Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia. (MPC Q62) on the night of 2014-09-20 and did data reduction on four images.
