Confirmation Images of the Near-Earth Object 2015 KQ154 on 2015-05-26

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.

Confirmation Images of COMET P/2015 F1 (PANSTARRS) On 2015-03-22

COMET P/2015 F1 (PANSTARRS) WAS discovered on 2015 03 21 by the PANSTARRS sky survey. While it was on the PCCP Confirmation Page in an effort to help in the confirmation I made follow-up measurements on March 22, 23, and 24 from Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia.(MPC Code Q62)

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.

Confirmation Images of the NEO 2014 TL

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.
