The Asteroid 2018 KE3 [NEO(Amor)] on 2018-08-04

The Asteroid 2018 KE3 is an Amor (a Near-Earth asteroids whose orbits approach but does NOT cross Earth's orbit) with an estimated diameter of  400 M to 900 M(1312.34 Foot to 2952.76 Foot)  its MOID (Minimum orbit intersection distance) is 0.213016 AU(82.9 Lunar Distance (LD))

On 2018-08-04 I was able to obtain 40-60 Second Luminance BIN2 Images on itelescope.net's (T17 TEL 0.43-m f/6.8 reflector + CCD).

I use Astrometrica to do the data reduction by way of the stack and track method. I had Astrometrica stack 4 sets(stacks) of ten images. Each image was shifted match movement of 2018 KE3.

I submitted four observations of  2018 KE3 to the The Minor Planet Center(MPC) in  the "new" "Astrometry Data Exchange Standard (ADES)"  format [PSV -"Pipe Separated Values"]

On 2018-08-05 the MPC published "MPEC 2018-P10 : DAILY ORBIT UPDATE (2018 AUG. 5 UT)"  containing my 2018-08-04 observations. of  2018 KE3.

As more observations are made(over time) of  any given asteroid.---more accurate orbital elements can be computed (with lower uncertainties).  Here a test with  Find_Orb showing "small" improvement to the orbital elements for 2018 KE3 (before and after my 2018-08-04 2018-08-04 observations).

If one would  to keep their eye JPL Small-Body Databas day afer day they see this 
"improvement" of  orbital elements and  lower uncertainties as well.
