Observing Run of 2015 NK13 on 2015-08-22 from Nerpio Spain

On 2015-08-22 I ran a series of 45 -- 60 Second Luminance BIN2 Images on itelescope.net's (TEL T18 0.32-m f/8.0 astrograph + CCD) at AstroCamp Observatory. Nerpio, Spain (MPC Code I89) and created 4 stacks of 10 images ( in one the stacks had star where 2015 NK13 should be and was not use)

The Near-Earth Object 2015 PK9 (Orbit type: Apollo ) was first observed at SONEAR Observatory, Oliveira.(MPC code Y00) on 2015 08 10.10036. The asteroid has an approximate diameter 49 m - 110 m ( Absolute Magnitude: H= 23.651). This asteroid made a close-approach to Earth on 2015-08-07 Nominal Distance (AU) : 0.0148213183067307 (5.768 Lunar Distances). The asteroid's Earth MOID (Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance) is 0.013686 AU (5.326 Lunar Distances). The last published Observations was made at: 2015 08 11.54955. At the time of this 122 observations have been made and the orbit has as uncertainty of 6.
