	LONEOS Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		LONEOS is a system designed to find Earth-crossing asteroids (ECAs) and comets (ECCs), collectively known as near-Earth objects (NEOs).
		LONEOS should have the capability to scan the entire dark sky accessible from Flagstaff, Arizona, three times per month for a magnitude limit near V=20.
		After 10 years of full-time operation, we estimate that LONEOS could discover 1000 of the large NEOs and perhaps twice as many smaller ones, thus increasing our knowledge of these bodies by an order of magnitude.

	Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) is a program run by NASA and Lowell Observatory to discover near-Earth objects.
		The LONEOS system began observations in December 1997.
		LONEOS uses a Schmidt camera system with a 0.6m aperture primary mirror that gives a wide field of view of about 3° of the sky.

	Optical Imaging of Gamma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		LONEOS images 3.2 x 1.6 degrees of the sky to 20th magnitude (3 sigma) in a 5 minute integration.
		LONEOS is a NASA funded project (E.L.G. Bowell, PI) to undertake a systematic large-scale observational search to increase the known population of near-Earth asteroids and comets that might represent a hazard to earth.
		Third, the large FoV and depth of LONEOS images are used in an archival fashion to identify an optical counterpart based on a subsequent GRB localization obtained by BeppoSAX or the RXTE.

		[47.04] Physical Characteristics of the Asteroid-Like Nucleus of Comet LONEOS C/2001 OG108
		We present the results from multiwavelength observations of the nucleus of the unusual Comet LONEOS C/2001 OG108.
		Discovered in July 2001, the object is in a Halley-Family orbit, but was apparently inactive until January 2002, when it was only about 1.5 AU from the Sun and just 2 to 3 months before perihelion.

	Lowell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search (LONEOS)
		The telescope was acquired from Ohio Weslayan University in 1990.
		Using a 4K x 4K CCD detector to cover a field of view of 2.9 x 2.9 degrees, the telescope is designed to make four scans per region over the entire visible sky each month down to a limiting magnitude of about 19.
		In 1999- 2000, the efficiency of the LONEOS program in discovering NEOs has increased significantly due to upgrades to the CCD camera and data reduction software.

		LONEOS is one of five teams funded by NASA’s Near Earth Objects Observations program to look for asteroids and comets that could come close to or strike our planet.
		LONEOS is the third leading discoverer of asteroids.
		Brian Skiff, LONEOS’ chief observer, acquired fresh CCD frames on September 29, but the LONEOS team was unable to locate the asteroid’s images.

		First images of the kilometer-size asteroid were captured by a CCD camera during early morning observation through the LONEOS 24-inch Schmidt telescope.
		Spahr then located observations made on October 5 by the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking program (http://neat.jpl.nasa.gov), LONEOS observations from September 28, and unpublished observations made by the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Near Earth Asteroid Research program (http://www.ll.mit.edu/LINEAR), extending the observational arc back to August 26 (http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/mpec/K03/K03T74.html).
		At this point, the identification with Hermes was clear from the similarity of the orbits from the 1937 and 2003 sightings, but it was not a simple matter to compute an orbit that linked all the observations together.

		The LONEOS system, which began test observations in 1997, has an instantaneous field of view of 3° × 3° and an expected threshold of detection of about V magnitude 19.5.
		It must be noted, however, that LONEOS by itself could not carry out sufficient astrometric follow-up observations to obtain reliable orbits on the NEOs detected.
		The LONEOS and Spacewatch systems used in a coordinated program of detection and orbit determination could yield the orbital elements for about 1000 new Earth-crossing asteroids larger than 1-km diameter, as well as thousands of smaller NEOs, in 10 to 15 years.

		It turns out that the host galaxy was imaged three times by LONEOS on that very night, and that the images of Feb 11.1477 and Feb 11.1999 showed it well enough that it was designated a single star by the LONEOS stars database software.
		A constant equal to 0.485 magnitudes was added to the LONEOS database magnitudes to approximate R-band values, based on the mean LONEOS database magnitudes and the corresponding R-band magnitudes of stars 2, 3, 6, and 12 of the NGC 2595 sequence.
		The others are differential LONEOS magnitudes of SN 1998es with respect to star 1 of the photometric sequence, with the R-band magnitude of that star then added.

		Comet C/2001 OG108 (LONEOS) will pass perihelion (situated near the earth orbit) in mid-March 2002, approaching earth in mid-April (minimum distance: 0.56 A.U.) (IAUC 7814).
		Thereafter it decreased nearly as quickly and was about 1.3' (60.000 km) in mid-May. During the apparition the coma showed a continuing trend to get more diffuse, with the degree of condensation near 5 at first, decreasing to 2 in mid-May. Tail reportings (up to 3') were extremely rare.
