Just to show would be minor planet hunters what's ahead I've posted the discovery image of K08X02R. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/UOFU12.JPG An arrow shows where it is. It measured at mag 19.6. On a related note, I spoke with Jerry Foote this evening. After reading his post from last night and then speaking with him this evening I'm beginning to think I might be doing a disservice by promoting minor planet discovery. Discovery is fun, to be sure. But minor planet discovery takes a great deal of time and patience and with the automated searches becoming ever better at what they do it's becoming harder and harder for amateurs to make discoveries (not impossible but hard). Jerry's suggested projects, on the other had, still take a good deal of work and dedication but have a much better chance of a positive outcome. patrick
