 Background
(as of 2015-07-09) 
Observing Run of (436724) 2011 UW158  on  2015-07-01

On 2015-07-01 I  ran a series of 60 -- 15 Second Luminance BIN2 Images on itelescope.net's (TEL T31
0.50-m f/6.8 astrograph + CCD + f/4.5 focal reducer)  at Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia. (MPC Q62) and did data reduction on four images.
