When seeking out imaging targets I often check the NEO Confirmation Page for an object that is not too faint, not too fast, not too close to a bright moon, and not too much uncertainty. This weekend found one and observed it for two nights. With the observations from observers from around the world along with my observations the MPC match to the known asteroid 2016 VM4 (this is not unusual. 2016 VM4 had previously been only observed for 3 days in November of 2016 and had a poorly defined orbit.
